Tottenham Hotspur may be preparing for the Champions League final on June 1 against Liverpool, but the summer transfer window is in fact already open.
While Spurs may be holding off on purchasing players until the competition ends, there is no stopping outside clubs from showing interest in current Lilywhites.
One player who has been linked with an exit after a below-par season with the club is Kieran Trippier, with both Napoli and Atletico Madrid said to be interested (Mirror).
A report from the Daily Star now claims that Mauricio Pochettino will sanction the sale of Trippier, but only if the right offer slides across his desk.
Spurs paid just £3.5m for Tripps back in 2015 when he transferred from Burnley (Guardian), and his rise through the ranks, succeeding Kyle Walker and becoming an England hero will surely have boosted his price significantly.
Gazzetta Dello Sport claim that Atletico are willing to offer £22m, while The Express say Tottenham are looking for £40m.
Spurs Web Opinion:
As I have said many times before, I still believe Trippier has something to offer Spurs. Experience, a homegrown status, expert crossing ability, etc. I believe that Tottenham should bring in a new first-team star like Wan-Bissaka, have Trippier as the second choice for use in a back 5, use Kyle Walker-Peters more often, and sell Serge Aurier.
