Spurs may be sleepwalking towards the Premier League’s relegation zone at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped them from scouting potential new blood ahead of a vital summer of business, according to reports. And for €50m, they might just be able to prise Real Madrid from their 18-year-old Argentine wonderkid. Franco Mastantuono is a capable player for his age, but this season has not been what he might have hoped. The attacking midfielder has understandably struggled for minutes across a frontline that boasts Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, and Brahim Diaz.

Instead, a move to the Premier League might open the door to regular top-flight football, and Spurs are keeping tabs on the situation, according to Caught Offside. James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, and Dejan Kulusevski all suffered long-term injuries this season, while Richarlison, Mathys Tel, and Randal Kolo Muani have huffed and puffed all season long with insufficient output between them to show for it.

Mastantuono would bring technical prowess and unpredictability to a turgid front line in North London, but also a grounded determination at odds with his bleached-blond buzzcut hairstyle. Brighton and Chelsea are reportedly sniffing around too, but many clubs will be unwilling to part with such a huge fee for a relatively unproven prospect. And for Spurs, there is a catch.

Should they fulfill their fans’ worst fears and be relegated this season, the chances of a new €50m signing from Real Madrid are absolutely zero. The Spurs hierarchy would need to ruthlessly slash the wage budget in the Championship, and even then would be in dire financial straits as a direct consequence of spending a season in the second tier. Tottenham currently sit 16th, four points above West Ham in 18th, and will be nervously looking over their shoulder until the end of the season.
