The Daily Star are reporting that Tottenham are ready to offer £20million for Diego Forlan.

The 31-year-old scored 28 goals for Atletico Madrid last season and according to the report, Harry Redknapp is ready to sell both Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko in order to revamp his attack.

Atletico want £30million for the Uruguay international, but Spurs are only prepared to pay £20million.  The La Liga outfit have also failed to qualify for the Champions League and will have to sell players.

Marseille are also interested in Forlan, but cannot meet his £60,000-a-week wage demands.

His agent Daniel Bolotnicoff said: “Forlan is a player who a lot of people are interested about in the European market.

“Each of the seasons many clubs show interest in him.

“This is not the first time that a Premier League club have wanted to try to buy him back.

“At the moment, though, he is concentrating on the World Cup finals.’’
