Spurs are unwilling to part with the rising star, but their stance could soften if they miss out on next season’s UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, Dayot Upamecano from Bayern Munich is reportedly Real Madrid’s top summer target, with early verbal commitments made regarding his potential switch. Ibrahima Konaté from Liverpool also expresses a desire to move to Madrid but is no longer the club’s primary focus.
