Matthijs De Ligt is one of Tottenham’s top targets.
Tottenham Hotspur face fresh competition from Roma in Matthijs De Ligt… but it could work in their favour.
This is due to a potentially insulting approach from Roma, who are said to value De Ligt at just 15 million Euros.
La Roma 24 and Pagine Romaniste via Italian news agency ANSA report Roma’s plans.
De Ligt is one of Ajax’s top talents and 15 million Euros, just over £11 million, would not even warrant a response from Roma.
Football London reported earlier this summer that De Ligt is at the top of Tottenham’s list as they look to replace Toby Alderweireld… but his price tag is more like £50 million.
While competitors Roma under value De Ligt, Spurs have an advantage, aided by their recent move for Ajax ace Davinson Sanchez last year.
This set them back a club record £42 million. De Ligt is already a Dutch international, younger than Sanchez, and is a homegrown academy product.
There is no way he leaves for less than the money Spurs paid for Sanchez.
