Bidding war begins - Tottenham join Arsenal, Liverpool in race to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo

Spurs join a growing list of suitors for the Brazilian, which already includes Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

Following their Europa League triumph, Tottenham's management is keen not only to retain their core squad but also to strengthen it.

Chairman Daniel Levy will attempt to negotiate a lower price for Rodrygo, aiming to bring the transfer fee below Real Madrid's asking price of €90 million, as reported by Sportal.

So far, none of the interested clubs have held official talks with Real Madrid. Contact has only been at a preliminary level with the Brazilian's representatives.

Rodrygo himself wants to discuss his future with Real Madrid's new manager, Xabi Alonso, before deciding on his future.

Last season in La Liga, Rodrygo made 30 appearances, scoring 6 goals and providing 5 assists.
