Tottenham Hotspur are targeting midfielders Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. They additionally watch Chelsea interest Tommaso Palestra. Manchester United are close to a deal for Fernandes despite Spurs' bid. Sky Sports reports the club is setting its Premier League wage budget while Atletico Madrid ask £80m for defender Cristian Romero. Spurs have earmarked funds for new signings and are evaluating offers.
Romano cautioned the Tonali move could fall through. The club continues to monitor that situation. Transfer activity stays fluid as clubs negotiate fees and contracts. Chelsea continue to watch the market for emerging talent.
