Tottenham could sign four PSG stars as owners ‘plan to clear out over £100m in wages’
Tottenham could be tempted to pursue as many as four Paris Saint-Germain players in the summer transfer window as the Ligue 1 giants attempt to trim their salary expenses over the coming months. They currently have one of the biggest wage bills in world football, with The Athletic claiming it to be as high as £645million per year. However, reports now claim that the club’s Qatari owners are looking to scale back their expenses as a matter of urgency, which suggests that a fire sale could be set to take place at the Parc des Princes in the not-too-distant future.
Gianluigi Donnarumma
Tottenham are thought to be in the market for a new first-choice goalkeeper amid the uncertainty over Hugo Lloris’ contract situation in north London. The Frenchman will be a free agent in the summer of 2024 as things stand and has only kept seven clean sheets in the Premier League so far this season, which suggests that he could be allowed to move on at some point over the next 18 months.
Lloris’ exit would leave Tottenham needing a long-term replacement but Donnarumma could be the perfect candidate after excelling for club and country in recent years, while he still has plenty of room for additional growth at the age of just 24. A cut-price move for the Italian stopper would be a shrewd deal for Spurs, who could solve their goalkeeping situation for at least the next decade by snapping him up later this year.
