- Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.
- Spurs value Solanke at under £50m and won’t pay his £65m release clause.
- Richarlison could still leave Tottenham with Al-Ahli considering a £60m bid.
Sources have confirmed to GIVEMESPORT that Tottenham do hold a genuine interest in Bournemouth striker Solanke, but they don’t plan on paying his £65m release clause. As it stands, Spurs value the English forward at under £50m, so they will be hoping to negotiate a deal with the Cherries. It’s understood that they could offer lower than the release clause with preferable payment terms, but they are yet to present a formal offer for Solanke to Bournemouth.

It’s thought that Solanke might be willing to join the North London team in the summer transfer window. Ange Postecoglou is reportedly spearheading the deal because he wants a proven Premier League striker, despite Spurs sources denying that they ever made an offer to recruit the player during the previous January transfer window.
Richarlison Could Still Leave Tottenham
Al-Ahli are considering a bid
Before the transfer window closes, Richarlison is still free to leave the team, sources have told GIVEMESPORT. Al-Ahli of the Saudi Pro League is thinking of offering the Brazilian striker £60 million.
Spurs need to move quickly to recruit a replacement center-forward in light of Richarlison’s possible departure; Solanke is one candidate who may step in to take his position. While Solanke may not be as adaptable as Richarlison, the Sky Sports writer Nick Wright has labeled him as a “elite” striker, and he has a track record of scoring goals in the Premier League.
