“Tottenham’s MEGA £100M Simons Swoop STUNS Barcelona After Jaw-Dropping £60M Bid REJECTED – You Won’t Believe What’s Next!”

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly leading the race to sign RB Leipzig’s attacking midfielder Xavi Simons this summer, with a £100 million financial boost strengthening their position in the transfer market.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has faced intense scrutiny throughout the season, with Spurs currently sitting 17th in the Premier League—just one spot above the relegation zone.

While the club’s extensive injury list earlier in the campaign earned him some sympathy from the board, Tottenham’s form has remained disappointing even after key players returned to fitness.

Speculation swirled before the Europa League final against Manchester United that Postecoglou could be dismissed at the end of the season, regardless of the result.

However, Spurs managed to secure a 1-0 victory over the Red Devils in Bilbao, courtesy of a first-half strike from Brennan Johnson.

The triumph marked Tottenham’s first major trophy since the 2008 League Cup win under Juande Ramos.

Despite uncertainty surrounding Postecoglou’s future, Tottenham appear to be pushing ahead with their summer recruitment plans.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the north London club are now considered ‘favourites’ to land Simons, who is also attracting interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City.

Tottenham reportedly view Simons as a priority target for the upcoming transfer window. However, Leipzig are reluctant to sell and are expected to demand a fee in the region of €80 million.

While Spurs face competition, their qualification for the Champions League could tip the balance in their favor.

Financially, the club stands to benefit significantly from Champions League involvement.

Finance expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider that Spurs could expect a windfall of up to £100 million from their return to Europe’s premier competition.

“They should get five home games in the Champions League, and those will likely sell out,” Borson explained. “With London ticket prices and strong demand, revenue will be substantial.

Their UEFA coefficient isn’t as high as some other clubs, so prize money could be slightly lower than what, for example, Manchester United might earn.

But they also won the Europa League, so the difference might not be too significant.”

He added, “They’re likely to earn £70–80 million in prize money alone, even if they exit early. As they progress, their earnings will increase.

Higher matchday revenue and potential uplifts in sponsorship deals could bring their total income to over £100 million.”

While higher wages due to Champions League clauses in player contracts may reduce the net gain, Borson estimates the club could still see an additional profit of around £60–70 million—boosting Tottenham’s summer spending power significantly.
