Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Archie Gray appears to be a target for Real Madrid.
According to reports (h/t Tribuna), the player’s acquisition will cost around 60 million euros. Tottenham are likely to accept negotiations for his departure if the asking price is met.
The 19-year-old is an incredible talent with a bright future ahead of him and has already become a very useful player in Tottenham’s first team. He is very young and will only grow with coaching and experience. Paul Merson claimed the midfielder “appears every week”.
Gray has all the tools to develop into a top-class player at Tottenham. Selling him could be a mistake for them. They are looking to build a team for the future and need to retain their talented young players.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are looking to add more depth in the center of the park, and the 19-year-old could be a long-term signing for them. They have the financial wherewithal to pay €60 million for the young midfielder and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
While the asking price may seem expensive at the moment, players may be able to justify the investment in the long run. The opportunity to play for Real Madrid will be exciting for him as well. It will be interesting to see whether the club makes a formal offer after the season ends.
It has been a disastrous season for Tottenham and they need to improve their squad in the summer. Losing a key player will be a big blow. That would send the wrong message about their ambitions. The club has often been criticized for a lack of ambition in the transfer market, and selling a promising young player like Gray would only further disappoint fans.
