Player ready to snub Manchester United to join Tottenham, but there is a problem
According to a report, David Raya is prepared to join Tottenham under the management of Ange Postecoglou, despite Manchester United’s interest led by Erik ten Hag.
The Sun has stated that both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are keen on acquiring the services of Raya from Brentford in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The tabloid report suggests that the 27-year-old Spanish goalkeeper is willing to depart from Brentford for Tottenham. Nevertheless, an issue remains unresolved.
As per The Sun, Tottenham has expressed a willingness to offer £20 million for Raya’s transfer, whereas Brentford values him at £40 million.
Manchester United is also interested in the Spanish goalkeeper and is closely monitoring the situation.
Brentford is hopeful that the competition between the two clubs for Raya’s signature will drive his transfer fee closer to their valuation of £40 million.
There is an opinion that Tottenham Hotspur should not simply agree to Brentford’s asking price of £40 million for David Raya. The suggestion is that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy should utilize his negotiation skills, as he typically does in transfer deals, to secure a lower fee.
It is acknowledged that it is unlikely for Brentford to sell the goalkeeper for £20 million, especially with interest from Manchester United.
However, the hope is that a compromise can be reached between Brentford and Tottenham, potentially settling on a fee of £30 million. The situation is currently a matter of waiting and observing how negotiations unfold.
