Tottenham have agreed to sell Toby Alderweireld to Manchester United for £55m. According to Marca journalist Chris Winterburn, the deal will be announced this weekend or next Monday at the latest. Alderweireld will become the Red Devils' fourth signing after Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant.
Initially, Tottenham pressed Man Utd's price up to 75 million pounds but the Old Trafford team firmly refused and switched to Yerry Mina. However, when the transfer market was about to close, Tottenham was forced to give in.
The reason is that, despite having a clause to extend Alderweireld's contract for 1 year, Tottenham can only collect 25 million pounds at the end of next season. It is known that Tottenham is in need of a source of income to offset the cost of building a new stadium, so they have not even brought in any new players.
As for Man United, they also soon reached a personal agreement with Alderweireld. The Belgian midfielder will sign a 5-year contract, and receive a salary of around 180,000/week to 200,000/week.
