Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Real Betis and AZ Alkmaar are in advanced negotiations over Troy Parrott, with talks reported in mid‑August and no clubs confirming terms yet.
- Published fee estimates differ widely, with at least one outlet reporting about €20 million while others say AZ is holding out for roughly €30 million.
- AZ has rejected earlier offers from clubs including West Ham, Ajax, Fulham and Wolfsburg after setting a higher valuation for the 24‑year‑old striker.
- Parrott has strong recent form for club and country but has lost his AZ starting place to Mexx Meerdink, a change that appears to have made the club more open to selling him.
- If the move goes through AZ would realise a large return on a player bought for a reported €4m–€8m in 2024 and Tottenham could receive a sell‑on payment depending on the 2024 transfer terms.
