Ajax has not given up on the arrival of Steven Bergwijn in the least, reports The Athletic. The usually very well-informed British medium writes that the team from Amsterdam will increase their bid for the 24-year-old attacker of Tottenham Hotspur to 22 million euros. The asking price is 25 million euros, making a transfer suddenly not impossible.
Tottenham rejected an offer of sixteen million euros from Ajax earlier this month. Not much later Bergwijn ended up in an insane rollercoaster by scoring two decisive goals in stoppage time in a short substitute against Leicester City (2-3 win). Antonio Conte then emphasized once again that Bergwijn is not allowed to leave and put the the Dutch international in the base in the last game played with Chelsea (2-0 loss).
Whether Bergwijn is allowed to leave London after all depends on the availability of a successor, he continues The Athletic. Luis Díaz is very emphatically in the picture for this the Spurs, who have already made an offer to FC Porto. Tottenham wants to pay 45 million euros including bonuses for the 25-year-old wing striker, but Porto is sticking to an asking price of 60 million euros. Luis Díaz was executed at the beginning of January oh jogo named the best player in the Portuguese league.
Tottenham will continue to say goodbye to Tanguy Ndombélé and Dele Alli, who are leaving on loan in the short term, Fabrizio Romano added. To make up for the lack of both midfielders, Sofyan Amrabat has to temporarily come over from Fiorentina. Tottenham has deposited a lease proposal with an option to buy worth sixteen million euros in Florence.
