Tottenham Hotspur on alert as Bayern Munich are willing to sell Marcel Sabitzer
According to the German outlet Bild (h/t The Sun), Tottenham Hotspur have become alerted to the situation of Marcel Sabitzer as Bayern Munich are willing to sell him this summer. His time at Allianz Arena has been disappointing, to say the least, having joined them only a season ago.
Despite having three years left in his current contract, Sabitzer’s future with Bayern Munchen is uncertain right now. They want to offload him in the summer transfer window to free their wage bill of his £8.6million yearly salary. Tottenham tried to sign him when he was at RB Leipzig, but they have now been linked with a move for the midfielder.
Arsenal have also been touted as a potential destination for the Austrian, but he is planning to remain at Bayern, as confirmed by his advisor Roger Wittmann. However, the German club are eager to part ways with Sabitzer for a fee of £13million, which they paid to sign him from Leipzig last summer.
Spurs need another midfielder?
Spurs are close to finalising a move for Yves Bissouma from Brighton and Hove Albion as of now. Naturally, questions can arise on whether we need to sign another midfielder now that we are looking likely to make an addition in that area ahead of the upcoming campaign.
We also need to strengthen other positions in the squad, so the questions are certainly valid indeed. However, it is best to bring in another midfielder to have a good number of quality options for Antonio Conte to choose from in the next season.
