£35m Tottenham target actually wants to join Real Madrid

Miguel Gutierrez is keen to join Real Madrid – despite Tottenham showing a desire to sign the Spaniard.

That is according to Fabrizio Romano.

So, what is the latest on Tottenham target Miguel Gutierrez? Let’s take a look…

Miguel Gutierrez wants Real Madrid move

Well – according to – Spurs want to sign the Spain U21 international this summer after he delivered so꧙me outstanding performances for Girona♚ this season.

Gutierrez has helped Girona to second in La Liga after scoring goal and providing three assists in 22 leagueꦦ appearances so far༒ this term.

Now, however – according to Romano – the Girona No.3𝔍 is holding out for a move to Real Madrid instead of Tottenham.

Interestingly, the Spanish giants can also sign Gutierrez for just €8m (£7m) thaꦜnks 💟to a buyback clause, rather than the (£35m) Tottenham would have to spend to trigger his release clause.

Romano on X (previously known a🐲s Twitter): “Real Madrid can bring him back for €8m in June 2024. Gutierrez wants to wait for Real.”

The 22-year-old made appearances for Real Madrid before leaving to join Girona in August 20💧22.

Tottenham should look elsewhere

If Tottenham are genuinely keen to sign Gutierrez – who is also attracting interest from Arsenal – we feel Ange Postecogloꦿu should now look elseꦆwhere.

It will be hard to change the defender’s mind – especially as he was born in Ma♍drid and Los ဣBlancos are arguably the pinnacle of club football.

Furthermore, Postecoglou already has an out🍃standing talent in Destiny Udogie who can play on the left of defence, so there is no need to spend £35m on Gutierrez.

Ben Davies and Ryan Sess🧔egnon can also operate at left-back, so that area of the pitch does not really seem to be in need of mꦆuch strengthening.

H🎃opefully, there is not much substance to these rumours, and Spurs do not waste time trying to sign Gutierrez𓂃 this summer.
