Following the news of Bryan Gil’s imminent move to Tottenham, Tutto Mercato Web have now provided us with the finer details.
What’s the story?
Well, the 20-year-old is close to joining Tottenham in a swap deal involving Erik Lamela, which will see the Argentine move to Sevilla.
Thanks to Tutto Mercato Web, we can see how much Spurs are offering the wonderkid in wages.
The Italian news outlet believe Tottenham will be paying Gil €2.5m-per-season, which equates to £2.2m-per-season.
In terms of a weekly wage, this would see the 3-cap Spain international earn £42,307-a-week in N17.
Not bad for a 20-year-old!
Tutto Mercato Web add that a deal is basically done, apart from Tottenham being €2m (£1.7m) away from Sevilla’s €25m (£21.6m) asking price.
Gil has been offered a five-year contract.
Fabio Paratici masterclass
This has the potential to be among the signings of the summer.
It also has the potential to put Fabio Paratici’s name up there with some of the country’s best Sporting Directors, should Gil be a success.
This is a player who Barcelona were scouting earlier this year, with the club’s highly respected scout Vaya Ballabriga comparing him to Neymar.
Gil has also been compared to Jack Grealish and Johan Cruyff.
For Paratici to successfully swap an ineffective 29-year-old, for one of the biggest talents in Europe, takes some doing.
Yes, there was a bit of a fee for Tottenham to pay as well, but £21.6m is a snip for such a big talent.
If Paratici pulls off a few more deals like this, Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad will be looking very good come the start of the 2021/22 campaign.
