Sticking with Spurs, Fichajes claims an offer of €100 million (£87.2 million, $116.4 million) is being readied for AC Milan winger Rafael Leão, who is the top attacking target ahead of Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.
Man City are looking to sign West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paquetá and, according to Jorge Nicola, hope to lower his asking price of £50 million ($66.7 million) by using Jack Grealish in a swap deal.

La Liga
