Saints Make New Bid For Toby Alderweireld

It is being reported that Saints have submitted another bid for Toby Alderweireld despite reports that he has passed a medical at Tottenham Hotspur.

The latest media reports are that Saints have reopened negotiations with Athletico Madrid and have made a new offer for the defender in a bid to resolve the contract dispute amicably.

It is being claimed that the bid is around the £14.2 million mark, a figure more than double the £6.8 million that Saints had the option to buy him for.

This brings the remarks made by the players Father and Agent earlier today into context and it seems that the saga may have another twist or turn before it runs its course yet.

Although the player will have a say where he wants to go, with time remaining on his contract Athletico are in charge of whether they sell him or not and they will want to sell to the highest bidder, it seems that the Spanish club now have the bidding war they have ben trying to create in the last fortnight, but whether Spurs have the money to go much higher without denting their own transfer strategy is not clear.
