Tottenham has informed David Raya that their £40 million asking price may cause them to withdraw from negotiations with Brentford. Other targets like Giorgi Mamardashvili and Robert Sanchez are on their radar.According to sources who spoke to 90min, Tottenham Hotspur has informed David Raya that they may not be able to buy him this summer due to Brentford's asking price.
Even before club captain Hugo Lloris declared a wish to depart, Tottenham's top priority going into the summer transfer season was the acquisition of a new goalkeeper.
They had made Bees goalkeeper Raya one of their main objectives, and the international from Spain is eager to go across London.
Raya wants to play for Spurs, but the club and Brentford have not yet reached an agreement on a transfer fee.
Raya would be permitted to go for a £40 million fee, as Thomas Frank reaffirmed during the latter months of the 2022–23 campaign, but Tottenham are unwilling to pay that amount, and recent negotiations have shown no signs of progress.
Since Raya's current deal expires in a year and he has previously stated he won't sign a new one, Brentford recently finalized the signing of Mark Flekken, a Dutch international, as his long-term replacement.
90min is aware that Spurs are keeping Raya up to date on events and that they are exploring other possibilities.
Guglielmo Vicario, a goalkeeper for Empoli, has been associated with Tottenham, but 90min understands he is being considered as a potential Andre Onana replacement at Inter. He recently spoke with Juventus, Roma, and Fiorentina as well. Brighton and Manchester United observed him last season.
Another player they are interested in is current Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who last season was replaced by Jason Steele. In the upcoming weeks, Bart Verbruggen is anticipated to be added to the Seagulls' roster as another stopper.
Spurs are interested in Giorgi Mamardashvili of Valencia, but, like Raya, he would cost a lot of money.
Gregor Kobel of Borussia Dortmund is another candidate that Tottenham is considering.
