GMS: Tottenham wants to sign Paligna when they come into contact with Bayern, Bayern will not let go easily and will ask for a high price

According to GIVEMESPORT source, Tottenham is in contact with Bayern Munich and hopes to sign Portuguese international Paligna.

Despite Kudus' transfer from West Ham United to Tottenham for £55 million and signing a six-year contract, Tottenham still plans to announce another signing within the next 24 hours. Nottingham Forest's core player Morgan Gibbs White was scheduled to have a medical check on Friday, but the deal was postponed. However, Tottenham has not stopped the summer transfer operation and they are still looking for more reinforcements.

According to GIVEMESPORT source, Tottenham has contacted Bayern Munich and hopes to sign Palignia. After winning the UEFA Champions League, Tottenham turned their attention to more ambitious goals, initially considering bringing Real Betis’ Cardoso or Marseille’s new player Angel Gomez.

Although Bayern Munich spent more than £47 million to sign the defensive midfielder a year ago, he failed to occupy a major position in coach Kompany's plan, giving Tottenham a chance. Sources said Tottenham hopes to learn more about Paligna, who has struggled to get a stable playing time in the 2024/25 season. If he does enter the transfer market, Tottenham will not rule out making an offer. The Portuguese international is currently in the United States and will carefully evaluate whether new challenges need to be met in the coming weeks.

Frank was granted the authority to sign, so Paligna entered Tottenham's sight. Tottenham said they have not completed their moves in the transfer market and are ready to welcome a new season, including the Champions League. The club prioritizes introducing new faces with Premier League experience, which is one of the reasons why they signed Kudus and Gibbs White from their domestic competitors.

Tottenham realized that Paligna would have higher salary requirements because his contract stipulates that after triggering the bonus terms, the weekly salary can reach about £200,000. At the same time, Bayern Munich spent a lot of money when introducing him from Fulham, so he would not let him go easily and would ask for a high transfer fee.

Although Crystal Palace fans' darling Adam Walton is considered an ideal goal for Tottenham, the club admits that signing him will be very difficult. In addition, rumors about Juventus player Douglas Luis have also been downplayed because Fabio Paratic privately stated that the deal was not realistic.

GMS sources also revealed that Tottenham has been negotiating with Esterford, who played a key role in Burnley's successful advance into the Premier League. This shows that Chairman Levi has strong support for Frank in the transfer market.
