The Portugal U21 international has a release clause of £26.3 million and would certainly represent great value for money, especially in the age of inflated prices.
Mauricio Pochettino hasn’t made a single transfer in the last two windows, with Lucas Moura the last player signed by the club in a £25million move from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2018.

“I am not open to start a new chapter with no plan, with no clear idea, with not being transparent, telling you and telling our fans what’s next, what is our objective,” the Tottenham boss said.
“I know very well how this business works. And we know very well that we need to operate in a different way – that doesn’t mean to spend more or less money.

Mauricio Pochettino wants the Champions League finalists to spend
“But if we expect every season to be in the final of the Champions League because it is our plan, we need to create a plan. And the plan maybe is different to what has happened in the last five years.
“And if we believe that if we operate in the same way that we have operated in the last five years we are going to be every season in the final of the Champions League, and we are going to be every season in the top four and competing against projects like Liverpool or Manchester City or Manchester United, I think we are very naive.”
