Roberto De Zerbi and Co have already begun exploring potential solutions in the transfer market following Tottenham’s winless start to the Premier League season. From a possible January loan for a Real Madrid youngster to ambitious targets in Spain and a familiar face from Chelsea, here are five of the biggest transfer stories surrounding Spurs in recent days.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramJose Mourinho pours cold water over Tottenham’s hopes of Endrick transferTottenham have tracked Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick for a long time, including in recent weeks as De Zerbi was tipped to seek a new number nine in January following Spurs’ struggles in front of goal. Endrick would have been a quality addition for Tottenham, who were reportedly even prepared to make an exception to their long-standing transfer policy of only loaning players with an option to buy.The 20-year-old has managed just four minutes of La Liga football this season, despite an impressive loan spell at Lyon last term, where he registered 16 goal contributions in 21 appearances.Reports in recent days suggested that Endrick is frustrated by his lack of minutes at the Bernabeu and that Real Madrid could therefore be prepared to entertain temporary offers in January. However, Madrid boss Jose Mourinho shut down those hopes when asked about the striker’s future on Thursday, declaring: “Mark my words again, it is impossible for Endrick to be loaned out”.Tottenham could complete a double transfer swoop from Atletico MadridIf a move for Endrick proves impossible, Tottenham could look towards their rivals Atletico Madrid to strengthen their attack. Alex Baena is reportedly on their radar, and the Spanish international could command a significant fee after his impressive performances during Spain’s successful World Cup campaign.Spurs are reportedly ready to enter the race for the 25-year-old attacking midfielder and could offer €80m (£69.6m) to secure his services, which would be almost double the €42 million (£36.5 million) Atletico paid Villarreal to sign him in the summer of 2025.However, Diego Simeone’s side have little intention of selling Baena in January, given his strong start to the season – seven goal contributions in 10 appearances. The player is also reportedly happy in Madrid and has no desire to leave. That said, it remains to be seen whether that stance changes if Tottenham follow through with the reported offer.More daringly, Spurs could even prise Diego Simeone’s own son away from him. Tottenham have been linked with Giuliano Simeone, with sources at the north London club suggesting that De Zerbi is a big admirer of the winger and believes he would be well suited to his system and the demands of Premier League football.Both the Premier League’s Manchester-based clubs have also made enquiries about the Argentina International, but Atletico have shown no interest in entertaining offers. Simeone is enjoying life in the Spanish capital, where he has had no trouble finding minutes under his father.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTottenham set a world-record asking price for Pedro PorroDespite signing a new contract with Tottenham in the summer, Pedro Porro continues to attract interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. Reports in recent weeks have also suggested that the World Cup winner does not see himself as part of De Zerbi’s long-term project and is ‘seriously considering’ a return to his home country.According to TeamTalk, Spurs are prepared to demand a world-record fee for a right-back if either club wants to prise Porro away from north London. The reported asking price stands at £75m, comfortably exceeding the £57m Paris Saint-Germain paid for Achraf Hakimi in 2021.The entire saga feels rather odd from the outside. De Zerbi has described Porro as one of the best players in the game in his position, and the Spaniard would hardly have signed a new deal if he had serious doubts about his future at Tottenham. Spurs also have no other natural right-back in the squad, making any departure difficult to envisage in the near future.Bournemouth soften their £100m stance on boyhood Tottenham fan Alex ScottTottenham have maintained an interest in Alex Scott for some time, but a move has yet to materialise because Bournemouth have been reluctant to sell the England international. Reports previously suggested that the Cherries could demand as much as £100m amid competition for his signature and his impressive start to the season. However, there may now be a reality check coming at the Vitality Stadium.Sky Sports have reported that Bournemouth’s stance is beginning to soften as Scott continues to reject their contract offers. The midfielder will have only 18 months remaining on his deal in January, putting the club in a position where it must consider substantial offers rather than risk watching his value decline.Bournemouth are reportedly prepared to consider bids in excess of £80m for the boyhood Tottenham fan. Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed of the Cherries’ changed stance, although he still expects Scott’s price tag to be above £100m.Tottenham could revisit a deal for two-time Champions League winner Antonio RudigerTottenham’s defensive business towards the end of the summer window was a bit clumsy. Kevin Danso expressed a desire to leave near the deadline day, meaning Spurs had little time to find a replacement of the same quality. They eventually signed former Chelsea man Tosin Adarabioyo, who had struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Stamford Bridge over the previous two years. However, De Zerbi could look to add more experience and quality to his defence next summer, with Antonio Rudiger emerging as a potential option.Tottenham explored a move for the two-time Champions League winner in 2020 and reportedly revisited the possibility during the recent summer window, although they ultimately decided against firming up their interest.Reports suggest Spurs are continuing to monitor the 33-year-old and could attempt to sign him on a free transfer when his contract at Real Madrid expires at the end of the season. His experience is highly valued by the Tottenham decision-makers, although there are concerns about his age.Even so, Spurs are unlikely to have a straightforward route to his signature. Rudiger is reportedly more likely to move to the Saudi Pro League than join another European club, meaning Tottenham may have to look elsewhere.READ MORE: Five places Tottenham could send Luca Williams-Barnett on loan in January – Spurs WebThe post Tottenham transfer update: Atleti double raid, Pedro Porro price tag and two-time Champions League winner appeared first on Spurs Web.
