Tottenham Seeks Real Madrid Rodrygo as Son Heung-min Replacement

Tottenham Hotspur's star forward Son Heung-min has departed the club after a decade, leaving a significant void in their attack as he prepares to join Los Angeles FC. Son’s exit has prompted the club to explore several high-profile replacements, with Real Madrid’s versatile winger Rodrygo emerging as a primary target due to his adaptability and suitability to fill Son’s role on the left wing. However, Rodrygo's potential transfer is complicated by his high €90 million price tag and reluctance to join Tottenham, with interest also coming from Liverpool and PSG. Other possible options include AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, who may be available due to Milan’s Champions League absence, and Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, who could be acquired for around £40 million. Tottenham face the challenge of balancing financial demands and player preferences while deciding whether to leave Son’s iconic number seven shirt vacant for the upcoming season. The club’s pursuit of replacements reflects both the difficulty of filling Son’s prolific scoring and emotional impact and the ambition to maintain competitive attacking options under manager Thomas Frank.
