Overview
- The 24-year-old has begun only three games this season under Xabi Alonso and has seen limited minutes, with multiple reports noting his growing frustration.
- Spanish reports link Tottenham with an €80m offer for the forward, but Sky’s Florian Plettenberg says Spurs have made no approach and cannot meet his salary demands.
- Arsenal have been connected to a potential move around £90m, though Football Insider now frames him as a likely summer 2026 target rather than a January priority.
- Real Madrid are widely reported to prefer keeping him through the winter window, making a mid-season transfer improbable.
- Chelsea’s position is contested across outlets, as Fabrizio Romano says the club are not in contact despite other reports suggesting they have spoken to Real Madrid.
