PSG and Real Madrid in battle to sign Spurs full-back – report
Real Madrid will rival Paris Saint-Germain to sign Tottenham defender Serge Aurier this summer, according to reports in France.
Last month, we relayed a story from French outlet Le Parisien claiming Mauricio Pochettino wants to take Aurier back to PSG.
And now another French publication, Foot Mercato, is suggesting Aurier could have a choice between PSG and Real Madrid in the coming months.
The report says Spurs will let the Ivory Coast international leave for just €12 million, which is far less than they signed him for.
Aurier only has a year left on his current contract, so that’s probably why Tottenham are said to be asking for such a small amount of money.
It seems absurd that Aurier could be playing Champions League football for an elite club next season when he has been generally disappointing in a Spurs shirt for some time.
This season has arguably been his best campaign since joining the club, but he certainly hasn’t done enough to be attracting the likes of PSG and Real Madrid.
