Overview

• Tottenham lodged improved proposals for Nico Paz, with leading reporters saying a €70m package was rejected, but Como owner Mirwan Suwarso now denies any offer was formally turned down.
• Suwarso pointed to Real Madrid’s control over Paz’s future, while Fabrizio Romano reports matching rights, a 50% sell-on and a low-cost buy-back that could pave a return to Madrid next year.
• Spurs want a No.10 and a winger before the deadline, and their interest in Manchester City’s Savinho is described as concrete, though any deal is viewed as contingent on City’s own moves.
• Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche and RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons are among alternatives being explored, with reports also linking a scenario involving Real Madrid’s Rodrygo; Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is not currently on Tottenham’s list.
• Urgency has grown after failed pursuits of Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White and with James Maddison facing a long layoff following an ACL injury.
