Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in acquiring Aitor Paredes from Athletic Club Bilbao.
The 25-year-old defender has made a significant impact at his La Liga club, and Tottenham aims to secure his services during the upcoming summer transfer window. With potential departures, including Cristian Romero, Spurs are looking to bolster their defensive lineup.
Paredes has also been previously linked to Chelsea.
Success in La Liga
Having established himself in the Spanish league, Paredes possesses both the physical and technical skills required for the Premier League. Reports indicate that his release clause is set at €40 million. Tottenham, known for their financial capabilities, may move swiftly to finalize this deal.
Identified as a primary target by their management, the North London club recognizes their defensive vulnerabilities this season; therefore, acquiring a player of Paredes’ caliber could be crucial. The opportunity to play in the Premier League would also be an attractive step in Paredes’ career.
Can Spurs Secure Paredes?
The asking price of €40 million is reasonable for a player with his abilities, making him a worthwhile investment for Spurs. If the transfer materializes, Paredes is keen to establish his presence in the squad. Despite Athletic Club’s reluctance to part with a key player, the existing release clause allows for a potential exit.
