Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to offer Brendan Rodgers a mega-money contract to lure the Leicester City manager away from the King Power Stadium, with 90Min reporting he’s in line to earn more than £15 million a year.
The Northern Irishman is currently at the helm of an exciting young side that’s only going to get better.
Furthermore, the Foxes have the financial might to ensure they no longer need to sell star players on an annual basis and, if they see off Crystal Palace tonight, Champions League football in 2021/22 will be almost a given.
That’s more than can be said for Tottenham – directionless, leaderless, trophyless and, if reports are to be believed, facing a major battle to hang on to their talismanic captain.
Daniel Levy finally brought an end to the failed Jose Mourinho experiment last week and, with the Spurs chairman dreaming of a forward-thinking manager famed for improving individual players, Rodgers is at the top of his wish-list.
90Min reports Tottenham are willing to offer the former Liverpool boss a contract that would see him take home in excess of £15 million a year.
In the Premier League, only Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola earns more.
The report adds Leicester are willing to match any offer Tottenham make for Rodgers, such is their determination to keep hold of a man who has cemented their place among the top-flight elite.
