Tottenham must offer 40 million to have a chance of getting Palhinha

Nuno Espirito Santo is beginning a new chapter in his career at Tottenham and, to make the squad even better, he is wanting to count on a compatriot who has immense quality: Joao Palhinha. He is 26, his contract runs until 2025 at Sporting and he has a price tag of 40 million euros. 'Record' revealed this figure on 13th August. 

The message is clear for the Tottenham big wigs. They have to put in big money to put in an offer which satisfies these demands. At least, it is a guide to find out what type of fee the Portuguese want to let him leave. 

The latest news is that the Portuguese outfit are not keen on letting the midfielder leave. It is a fair enough response given that he was key for them last season. He also came through the club's age group teams. 

Tottenham will have to make a decision soon because there are just over two weeks until the transfer window closes. Agreeing to the coaches' response will see the club having to make big money investments in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and that means we do not know if they will be able to afford it.
