According to Romano, Spurs have “reached an agreement” on a player valued at £63 million, and he intends to have everything resolved “by Friday.”
Spurs midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is rumored to be close to agreeing to a loan deal with Italian club Genoa.
Famous transfer expert Fabrizio Romano asserts that the loan agreement between Tottenham and Genoa has “reached an agreement” and that the player must now agree to precise terms with the Serie A squad.
Romano shared the news on X (formerly known as Twitter). He wrote:
“Genoa have reached an agreement with Tottenham to sign Tanguy Ndombele on loan.”
“Genoa now working to convince the player.”
“Spurs want to find solution for Ndombele by Friday but it’s up to the player now as Genoa made their best effort.”

Ndombele, who joined Tottenham in 2019 for a club-record £63 million, has struggled to live up to the high expectations that were placed on him. His performances haven’t exactly won over the club’s several managers that have led it throughout his time there.
Ndombele spent the previous season on loan with Napoli, where he contributed to the team’s Serie A victory. The deal fell through despite Napoli wanting to hire him on a long-term basis.
The French midfielder’s transfer to PSG was originally thought to be on the table, but it now appears that the Italian squad will be the front-runners if they can convince him to do so.
Ndombele’s struggles integrating into English football and making a name for himself at Tottenham suggest that a summer transfer could be favourable for all parties.
Tottenham has so far had trouble coming to an agreement with any of the potential bidders, while preferring a permanent sale.
Spurs might suddenly agree to a loan agreement that would take him off their salary for an additional year because of the impending deadline.
