Tottenham Hotspur is still being linked to a move for Bryan Cristante, a midfield player for Roma.
Tottenham is reportedly interested in the midfield player and would be willing to offer €30 million for him next summer, according to a report from Il Messaggero via Tuttomercatoweb.
The €30 million “offer would be difficult to say no to,” the report continues.
Despite Roma’s limited resources, Cristante has established himself as a vital member of the team. They would undoubtedly find the rumored €30 million offer to be an alluring offer, but it is unclear how things will turn out.
Tottenham’s midfield needs to be strengthened in terms of quality and depth, and Cristante will give the team more physicality and defensive cover.
The North London club has been linked to the Danish international Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who could be replaced by Cristante in the summer. Whether all parties can reach a consensus in the upcoming months is still up in the air.
Since Cristante is currently at the height of his abilities, he will find it appealing to move to the Premier League. He’ll want to put himself through the paces and establish his mettle in English football.
He undoubtedly possesses the talent to succeed in the Premier League, and at the stated price, he might prove to be a worthwhile addition.
With his arrival, the Spurs would also be able to rotate important players like Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma.

Tottenham risk losing midfielder to Barcelona in January following Gavi’s injury – Potential transfer looms
Following Gavi’s injury, Barcelona has once again focused on Giovani Lo Celso, a midfielder for Tottenham.
The Spanish superstar Gavi sustained a serious injury when he tore his ACL in their 3-1 victory over Georgia in the Euro 2024 qualifying match.
He will likely miss six to eight months of action due to the unfortunate injury, which will effectively end his season.
Due to his extended absence, Barcelona has started to look for a replacement, with a midfielder from Spurs being one of their top targets.
The team might sign Lo Celso on loan from Tottenham, per Mundo Deportivo.
According to reports, Xavi is a huge fan of the player and intended to sign both the Argentine and a replacement for Sergio Busquets in the summer.
Lo Celso has struggled recently to establish a consistent spot in the Tottenham lineup and has played a large amount of his time on loan at Villarreal.
Lo Celso impressed Ange during the preseason, but in all competitions, he has only played 83 minutes of football.
But with James Maddison not present, he might have a chance to present his own case at this point.
One of Spurs’ summer signings is the former Leicester player. But he won’t be able to play until January due to an unfortunate injury.
Lo Celso may wind up staying with Spurs for the remainder of the season because they are short on options in the midfield; however, a lot will depend on how they do during the January transfer window.
