‘Astronomical’: Journalist says there’s a huge gap in valuation for reported Tottenham target, club might want up to £77m
It would seem any deal to take Barcelona’s ๊Ansu Fati to Tottenham Hotspur ahead of this week’s deadline would be very tricky.
That’s because o𒁃f a in valuations between the two clubs.
Journa🎐list shared the information on a🌟s part of a lengthy recording.
Jacobs said that Tottenham have looked at Fati and decided their own valuation.
However, the fee Barcelona would want is much, much higher and therౠefore that’s why a deal hasn’t been done.
: “My und๊erstanding is that Tottenham have looked and they think that there is a ballpark valuation, this is only from internal discussions, of about £45 million.
“Aston Villa have taken a look and even some other clubs, like Manchester Uniteꦏd held an internal discussion building up to the window, just as due diligence – rather than anything more.
“They were thinking inꦏ the region of 35, 40 million Euros, but Barcelona would be looking at 70, 80, 90 million Euros, which feels astronomical, but that is what they feel the player could be worth and that is why a dealꦍ hasn’t been done.”
Jacobs also said♚ he’d be surprised if any deal does get completed in the final few days of the window.
Tottenham and Barcelona have a big gap in their valuation for Fati
It d�🔴�oesn’t seem like this news will be too much of a blow for Tottenham or their fans.
The club look to be pressing on with a move for Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson.
And it’s conceivable to think that Fati may have ♚been an alternative to Johnson given their positional similarities.
You would expect any forw🦂ard s🎃igning alongside Johnson to be a more typical number nine.
It’s clear that Tottenham do still have work they wish to complete before this week’s deadli💧ne.
Ange Postecolgou seems certain on the type of profile that will benefit his💯 side ahead of the💙 long season ahead.
And the difference in valuations between🧔 Tottenham and Barcelona for Fati is unlikely to unhinge any of those plans.
Whilst some fans may be disappointed that it now seems unl🌸ikely that Fati will be a Spurs player, they probably wouldn’t want to see their club payi♓ng up to .
