      Despite telling Spurs they wanted a response the same day, they have yet to receive an answer.
      Tottenham chairman Levy has flown to Miami but is still working from Florida, weighing up Bayern’s final offer of £86million with £17million in add-ons.

      His wife Katie was also reportedly in Munich looking for a house last month as the move edges closer.

      Saudi Pro League will NEVER rival the Prem until they really splash the cash on genuine world star in his prime

      SAUDI Pro League clubs have been throwing around a vast amount of money this summer.But until they sign Kylian Mbappe, or another genuine world star in his prime, then the major European clubs will remain relaxed about it.

      Right now, it’s just the latest league where older players go to die their footballing deaths — like Karim Benzema joining Al-Ittihad — for one last earner.
      It’s the same with Major League Soccer in America, it was the same with China for a while, and I did it myself in Japan at the end of my playing career.
      I don’t want to sound holier-than-thou but Saudi Arabia has a deeply troubling human rights record — last year 80 people were executed in one day, most for what we would regard as minor offences.
      There are many other serious human rights concerns.

      It is easy to say, ‘I would never go there for any money’, until millions and millions are dangled in front of your face — then that dilemma becomes very real.
      Players can guarantee the financial security of their family for generations to come.
      It can’t be easy to turn down that sort of offer.
      The Saudis, and their sportswashing project, are not going away — in football as in golf, boxing, tennis and other sports.

      They have ambitions to host World Cups and Olympics, and they have such vast wealth.
      But until they can land an Mbappe, they will not be seen as a major threat by the top European leagues.
      Some clubs, such as Chelsea, are even seeing the emergence of the Saudi Pro League as a major positive.
      They have been able to offload unwanted players for big money, instead of having to loan them out while still paying half of their wages.

      While another former Barca star Luis Suarez has also been strongly linked.

      According to Florian Plettenberg, Man Utd “never lost their focus on Goretzka” who is “on the Premier League club’s list”.

      Goreztka told Sky Germany: ” I have no intention to leave Bayern. I love the club, I love the city, I love the fans.”
      But ex-Chelsea boss Tuchel is said to prefer Joshua Kimmich and Konrad Laimer.

      And Ten Hag hopes that could change the Germany international’s mind.
      Sky Sports in Germany say Tuchel will happily sell Goretzka for around £43m, as they bid to fund their pursuit of Harry Kane.
      United have already recruited a midfielder Mason Mount this summer from Chelsea for £60milllion.

      After undergoing surgery for a knee injury, he started in 22 Bundesliga matches last season.
      But with the arrival of Laimer from RB Leipzig this summer and with emerging star Ryan Gravenberch pushing for a spot, Goretzka is no longer the main man in Tuchels starting XI.

      The former England international has received offers to join former Reds team-mates Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino in the Saudi Pro League.
      But, according to BBC Sport, Turkish side Besiktas have approached the midfielder.
      The former Gunner-turned-Red has reportedly been offered a lucrative two-year-deal, with the option of a third.
      Although he is yet to accept the proposal, he is said to be considering it.

      Oxlade-Chamberlain played 146 games and scored 18 goals for Liverpool, after joining from Arsenal for £35m in 2017.
      He won the Champions League and Premier League with the Reds and has earned 35 international caps for England, the last of which came in 2019.

      But fierce positional competition and various injuries saw Oxlade-Chamberlain become a bit-part player at Liverpool under Klopp.
      Since leaving on a free this summer, a move to Istanbul could be on the cards.

      “They say you’re coming into your peak at 29, so I want to go and test myself, play consistently somewhere”.
      Last season, Besiktas had two English players in their squad.
      Dele Alli experienced a short spell on loan from Everton and winger Nathan Redmond, who joined Burnley this summer after his contract in Istanbul expired.
      Besiktas have also shown interest in Everton winger Demarai Gray, but the Jamaica international looks to be heading to Fulham. More
