Tottenham Reportedly Lodge £61m Bid for Atlético Midfielder Pablo Barrios

Atlético hold the upper hand thanks to a €120m release clause that dwarfs Tottenham’s opening proposal.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing Fichajes report that Spurs have submitted a formal offer of about €70m (£61m) for Pablo Barrios.
  • Atlético are described as reluctant to sell, with a €120m release clause in his deal and a reported valuation near £105m.
  • Barrios, 22, has been a regular under Diego Simeone this season in LaLiga and the Champions League.
  • Liverpool and Chelsea are also linked with interest, which could complicate Tottenham’s pursuit.
  • Neither club nor the player has issued public confirmation, indicating an early negotiation phase rather than an agreed transfer.
