Southampton And Tottenham Negotiating Player Plus Cash Swap Deal

The latest news on the transfer front is that Saints and Spurs are in negotiations to do a swap deal with a player going in either direction plus Southampton will receive a nbalancing payment in cash.

The two players in question are Joe Rodon who spent last season on loan from Spurs at Leeds United and played against Saints at Wembley and Carlos Alcaraz who played the first half of the season in the Championship before joining Juventus on loan.

tottenhamhotspurnews.com are reporting that the deal could be close, with Rodon valued at around £10 million and Alcaraz at £30 million.

This would mean that the Argentinian would join Spurs and in the other direction would come Rodon and £20 million, although it has been said in the past Saints have a £38 million transfer clause in Alcaraz's contract.

This would make sound business for Saints Charly Alcaraz has undoubted talent, but it won't flourish at a club like Southampton, he needs to be at a bigger club.

Rodon joined Spurs from Swansea in October 2020, but in his first two seasons could not break into the first team and after playing just 15 Premier League games, joined Rennes on loan in 2022. It was not a good time and he spent most of it on the bench, but last season he was a rock at the heart of the Leeds defence and now Spurs are looking to offload him for around the £11 million they originally paid.

The Welsh central defender has also played 44 times for Wales.
