Tottenham Hotspur are planning to make an approach for a Real Madrid and Bayern Munich transfer target “soon”, with Ange Postecoglou’s side becoming more and more keen on bringing the player to north London.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has even reported recently that Tottenham are ready to make a marquee midfield signing for that area of the squad, despite the club holding talks with Rodrigo Bentancur over a new contract (The Daily Mail).

The Lilywhites have appeared light in midfield at points across 2024/2025, with Archie Gray forced into a makeshift centre-back role for extended periods of the season, while it is also believed that an exit for Yves Bissouma is gaining more traction.
Tottenham are continuing to be linked with Inter Milan star Davide Frattesi as one midfield target, with Lille midfielder Angel Gomes subject to interest from Spurs as his contract ticks down towards expiry.
Postecoglou’s midfield could look quite different by the time next season kicks off, and it will be interesting to see who could be complementing Bentancur in the engine room.
“In terms of his contract situation that is handled by other people and obviously a lot of our strategizing is not just about the short term but the longer term,” said Postecoglou on Bentancur’s potential new deal.
“Rodri, this latter period, is getting back to the levels he wants to be. He was coming off a long term injury last year, came back looked really good and then got another injury. It’s really disruptive. Even this year he got off to a false start with his long suspension.
“You can see he just needs regular game time and he is getting up to speed. Really good guy around the group as well. He is experienced now. From our perspective, in this run-in he is going to be really important.”
Tottenham plotting approach for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara
According to CaughtOffside, Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara has also been identified by Spurs as a potential serious option.
Previous reports indicated that Tottenham have been displaying an interest in Camara, but it now appears they’re stepping it up, amid interest from Real and Bayern Munich.
CaughtOffside state Tottenham are plotting an approach to sign Camara “soon”, with Liverpool also believed to be fans of the Senegalese who has really impressed for Monaco in Ligue 1 this season.
The 21-year-old has registered their joint-highest amount of assists in the French top flight (6), and is currently their fourth-best performer by average match rating. That is according to WhoScored, who also state that Camara has averaged an impressive 2.4 tackles per 90 this season – more than any Tottenham player except Destiny Udogie.
Camara is a real all-rounder both defensively and going forward, but he won’t come cheap, with Monaco setting his price tag at up to £42 million.
