Tottenham sharpened the knife properly. Real Madrid's core Federico Valverde will be recruited.

British media Team Talk reported on the 2nd (Korean time) 'Tottenham is known to foreshadow a shocking attack on Real Madrid'

Tottenham had a big change ahead of this season. Son Heung-min has moved to LA FC (USA). In addition, he broke up with manager Enze Postecoglou and gave Thomas Frank the helm. Tottenham is ranked fourth with three wins, two draws and one loss (11 points) in six English Premier League (EPL) games in the 2025-2026 season. He also ranked ninth in the European Champions League (UCL) league phase with one win and one draw (four points).




Team talk is 'Tottenham got off to a relatively strong start under Frank. Recruiters Mohamed Qudus and João Palinha had an immediate impact. Xavi Simmons appears to be adjusting. Valverde is a central midfielder, but he is a multi-resource that can include a side striker. He played in seven Spanish Primera Liga games for Real Madrid this season. He is also the vice-captain of the team.

Tottenham want to strengthen their squad further. Team Talk 'Tottenham is planning to sign Valverde in the winter transfer window. Valverde is considered a transfer priority after Daniel Levy stepped down as chairman of Tottenham. If Tottenham sign Valverde, an immediate upgrade from the midfield is possible.

There is a problem. Of course, it's a financial situation. Valverde is known to receive £345,000 a week from Real Madrid, according to the media. Currently, Tottenham's top weekly players are Christian Romero and Simmons. He is paid £195,000 a week. Valverde could have to cut £150,000 a week. Tottenham are rumored to have held preliminary negotiations with Valverde ahead of the winter transfer window. However, all of this is possible when there is a complete change after Levy steps down completely. There may be doubts about the recruitment at this time,' he said.
