Throughout the summer, it was widely known that Tottenham was hunting for a new center-back, eventually signing Micky van de Ven.
With the departure of DavinsonSánchez, however, another deal was attempted, as Galatasaray were willing to let Victor Nelsson go if his €25 million release clause was triggered.
Tottenham never placed that sum on the table, evidently thinking it was too expensive, and instead chose to be patient, which is now paying off, according to Sabah.
Denmark international was dissatisfied with his club’s position over the summer, seeking to move to the Premier League, and has made that plain since the season’s start.
He has fallen down the pecking order, having been replaced by Sánchez, and is now considered Okan Buruk’s fourth center-back.
As a result, Galatasaray are now “ready to accept an immediate transfer fee of €10 million” for the Denmark international, who is “considering leaving in January.” In summary, if Tottenham offers ‘beyond this price’ of €10 million, they should get their man and boost an area where Ange Postecoglou has found himself quite short due to a succession of injuries and suspensions to key players.
