Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has submitted a proposal for Frenkie De Jong, a player who has attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
According to Jijantes via Sportwitness, Tottenham Hotspur have unexpectedly approached Frenkie De Jong with an offer. The north London club has put forward a bid of €60 million in order to secure the services of the Barcelona star.
Under Postecoglou’s management, Spurs have enjoyed a successful debut season. He has successfully implemented his football philosophy, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing style of play. With a stronger squad, their start to the season could have been even more impressive.
Despite losing their captain and star striker Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer, Spurs have performed admirably even without a proper number nine.
To fully establish his vision, the Australian manager will need to make further additions to the squad. The signing of a top-tier midfielder and a new number nine are the team’s main priorities ahead of the next season.
Tottenham have taken a significant step towards securing the 26-year-old midfielder as they believe De Jong is a perfect fit for Postecoglou’s style of play.
A bid of €60 million, including add-ons, has been made by Spurs for the Dutch international. They are willing to match Barcelona’s salary offer and have proposed a four-year contract.
However, they face competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United. The Red Devils came close to signing De Jong in the summer of 2022 and even reached an agreement with Barcelona, but the former Ajax midfielder turned down a move to Old Trafford.
