Tottenham Hotspur target Davinson Sanchez is also of interest to Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Tottenham have submitted a £28 million offer for the Colombian defender, but Ajax want £35 million.
And, with the amount of interest in the defender that there is, Daniel Levy could be paying a risky game.
Sanchez is said to be wanted by Real Madrid and Chelsea in The Sun, but it is Spurs who are currently leading the race for the 21-year-old’s signature.
Sanchez is said to want a move to Tottenham, after being persuaded by Mauricio Pochettino.
However, if Tottenham do not pay up quickly, they may give the likes of Madrid and Chelsea to stake their claim.
Tottenham currently hold the advantage in the negotiations, but if Madrid or Chelsea reach an agreeable fee before them, then there is simply no guarantee that Sanchez will join.
And that could be a risk for Levy to take, given the frustration around Spurs at their transfer window to date.
Tottenham are yet to make a signing over the summer so far, and they really cannot afford to miss out on a deal for Sanchez now.
