Tottenham Hotspur is looking to upgrade its backline this summer. However, after reportedly whiffling on their top target in Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni, the north London club might need to cross another name off their list.

According to Transfermarkt, Chelsea and Spurs have been warned by RB Leipzig that their star defender Josko Gvardiol is not for sale at any price this summer. Despite the interest from Premier League clubs, the German side wants to hold onto the 20-year-old, who has all the leverage.

Gvardiol is under contract with Leipzig until 2026, so RB Leipzig doesn’t have to sell if they don’t feel like it’s in the club’s best interest. The Croatian is valued at £32 million, but there’s no doubt they want more considering the market he’s already commanding.

For Spurs and Chelsea, it’s back to the drawing board as Tottenham eyes a central defender to go along with Cristiano Romero and Eric Dier; meanwhile, The Blues are looking to replace the outgoing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christiansen, who departed as free agents.

The backline is of high priority for Tottenham Hotspur this summer as they look for a central defender to put alongside Cristian Romero and Eric Dier in the three-at-the-back system. There are various names, including Torino FC’s Gleison Bremer.

According to SportMediaSet the belief is that Tottenham ‘will soon present an offer to Torino’ for the Brazil international. The Italian club’s president is ‘betting all his chips’ on the Premier League side coming forward with a bid, but further information on the sum they’ll put forth.

However, there is a hurdle in this pursuit as Bremer would prefer Inter Milan, but there is no agreement with Torino at the moment between the two parties. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see how Spurs convince the center-back to consider their offer.

Torino wants to cash in on the defender, a hot commodity among the big clubs across Europe; it will be all about meeting their asking price. Transfermarkt puts Bremer’s transfer value at £32 million.

The Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur story appears to be gathering momentum. I have to admit that repeated regurgitations of the tale, from ‘monitoring’ to ‘offer being prepared’ did come across as journalists paddling for time. There appeared to be an impasse across the board once the Bastoni deal fizzled out of view.

In a curious twist, this latest update comes from an unusual source. Jon Sopel, former BBC North America Editor, writer, and broadcaster, managed to spot the Spurs CEO and Everton’s Bill Kenwright having dinner together at Scott’s restaurant in London. A venue which, some of you might recall, was the scene of the meeting in 2016 between Sir Alex Ferguson and Mauricio Pochettino.

Of course, it is probably very much the case that owners of Premier League sides do mingle and occasionally sit down to pick each other’s brains. That said, the fact that Tottenham and Everton have been hand-in-glove on the back pages for the past few weeks certainly adds fire to the posh nosh spot.
