Davinson Sanchez in advanced talks to join Spartak Moscow from Tottenham
Tottenham outcast Davinson Sanchez is in ‘advanced talks’ to sign for Spartak Moscow after they submitted a €12million (£10.4m) bid for the defender.
The 27-year-old has fallen way down the pecking order at Spurs and endured a nightmare campaign in 2022/23, starting just eight Premier League games last season.
He was infamously booed by his own supporters when he was subbed on and off in the same match against Bournemouth in April, and with just one year left on his contract, Tottenham want to recoup some money on the player they bought from Ajax for £42m in 2017.
Spartak Moscow submit €12million bid for Sanchez
It seems they have a buyer, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Spartak have bid €12m for the defender with talks at an advanced stage between both clubs.
The Russian side are optimistic a deal can be completed for the Columbia international, who was once Spurs’ record signing.
In all, Sanchez has made 205 appearances for the north London club, helping them reach the finals of the 2019 Champions League and 2021 Carabao Cup.
Tottenham rebuild continues
He would become the third player to leave Tottenham this summer, following Harry Winks who has joined Leicester and Lucas Moura who is still a free agent.
More departures are expected, including that of club captain Hugo Lloris and potentially Harry Kane with Bayern Munich determined to sign the striker.
Any transfer fee they get for Sanchez will go some way to funding new manager Ange Postecoglou’s rebuild of the squad which has already seen the arrival of James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario and Manor Solomon, as well as the permanent signings of Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro for a combined £117m.
Conclusion
It looks increasingly likely that Davinson Sanchez will be leaving Tottenham this summer, with Spartak Moscow in advanced talks to sign him for €12million. The defender has fallen way down the pecking order at Spurs and with just one year left on his contract, it makes sense for them to recoup some money on the player they bought from Ajax for £42m in 2017.
