Tottenham Hotspur could face a fight to keep Hugo Lloris.
Real Madrid interest in Hugo Lloris has a familiar feel for Tottenham Hotspur as the Spanish side eye up another of their players.
Lloris had a mixed season for Spurs but it ended on a real high, lifting the World Cup with France.
He returns to Spurs shortly as a World Cup winner, a jewel in the Tottenham ranks, a reason for the club to be proud.
For Tottenham to now sell him would send a terrible message, that any of their stars are attainable.
The other side of the argument is that now may be the best time to cash in on Lloris, from a business sense, while his stock is at his highest.
Fans may worry that this appeals to chairman Daniel Levy, a savvy businessman.
Tottenham need to forget selling high if a bid comes in, and focus on what Lloris means to the club, and his teammates.
To sell a club icon would send the wrong message to the current set of players, and to other clubs, signalling once again that Tottenham’s top stars are available at the right price.
