Dominic Solanke, a striker for Bournemouth, is poised to become Tottenham’s record signing. He is eager to start at the front of Ange Postecoglou’s lineup in the forthcoming campaign.
In-depth negotiations between Tottenham and Bournemouth are about Dominic Solanke, a striker.
Spurs had been skulking all summer, but after stepping up their search for a new center-forward, they have now formally approached the 26-year-old Cherries striker. The two teams are currently in talks to complete a statement move.
Because they are entitled to a twenty percent share of whatever profit Bournemouth makes from the sale, Liverpool stands to gain financially from any potential agreement.
In 2019, Solanke made the move from Anfield to the Vitality Stadium for an initial fee of £19 million plus add-ons. However, it is not yet known if Tottenham would use his £65 million release clause. They would have paid more than the club record £63 million to Lyon for midfielder Tanguy Ndombele if they were to reach that amount.
Though a deal hasn’t been confirmed, it’s understood that Bournemouth has now grudgingly decided to transfer Solanke to Spurs. As a result, they are getting ready to live without the top striker from the previous campaign, who scored 21 goals overall and 19 in the Premier League.
The fact that Spurs took the entire summer to formally express their interest has angered certain Bournemouth players, especially considering that the 2024–25 season begins in just one week. The team had always known they could lose the player, but according to owner Bill Foley, there had also been hope in the boardroom in recent weeks that Solanke would stay put.
The England international, who has remained professional throughout Bournemouth’s pre-season preparations, is thought to have expressed his openness to the transfer in private conversations with the Cherries. There appears to be a wide understanding on personal terms between Spurs and Solanke at this point.
In an interview that was released on Thursday, Andoni Iraola stated to Sky Sports, “It’s clear that Dom is our most important player. However, the figures are present.
It’s not [only] about the objectives; he greatly aids with the build-up and media attention. He strengthens our team tremendously and doesn’t provide any significant weaknesses.
He appears to be content here. He’s been working out with the guys already. Even though there are things beyond our control and we don’t know how the market will pan out, he is an excellent professional. I’m hoping he will support the team for a very long time.
This summer, Chelsea has also expressed interest in its former star Solanke; however, the Blues believed that Solanke’s £65 million release clause was excessive.
Spurs have taken action in response to Richarlison’s choice to stay in North London even after receiving a substantial offer from the Saudi Pro League. The 27-year-old is happy at Spurs and wants to stay in the Premier League to enhance his chances of leading the line for Brazil at the 2026 World Cup, even though Al Hilal is rumoured to have made a bid to sign him.
