Tottenham Hotspur is preparing to fill Son Heung-min's vacancy with Hodrigo (Real Madrid).
Spain's leading newspaper As reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy asked Real Madrid to allow him to talk to Hodugu. Real Madrid set a transfer fee of 90 million euros (about 144.9 billion won), but Tottenham made it clear that they wanted to negotiate.
Rodrigo, who is also a member of Brazil's national team, is signed by Real Madrid until the summer of 2028. Until last season, he played in a total of 42 games, including league and cup tournaments, with 14 goals and 8 assists. However, it was evaluated that not only the results but also the performance were not good. `Hodrigo has never expressed his desire to leave so far, but he has spent a long time sitting on the bench at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which was his first since the change to coach Xavi Alonso,' As said. `Although we got the opportunity to play on the left wing, most of the opportunities went to Vinicius Junior, the transfer of Frao Mastantuono, and the growth of Gonzalo Garcia are also worsening the situation.'

It was analyzed that the transfer of Son Heung-min, who was the highest-paid player in Tottenham's team, opened the door for Hodrigu. As says 'In principle, money is not an issue in this transaction. Tottenham succeeded in reducing costs by transferring Son Heung-min, who received 11 million euros (about 17.7 billion won) per season. Now there is an opportunity to invest in recruiting stars, and the player who wanted to use it to bring in Hodrigu' stressed.
However, As claims that Tottenham does not just show confidence. The newspaper said that `Tottenham is not sure whether the transfer negotiations will come to fruition due to Liverpool's long shadow,' adding that `Newcastle rejected Liverpool's proposal for a transfer of 140 million euros.' Liverpool is unlikely to propose again. 'We are waiting for Liverpool's offer (which has shown a long interest in him)," Hodrigo said.
