Report: Tottenham step up efforts to acquire Sabitzer
Britain's Daily Mail reports that Tottenham Hotspur have intensified their efforts to acquire RB Leipzig's Marcel Sabitzer.
Previously reported salary considerations form the cornerstone of recent efforts by Tottenham Hotspur to ply Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer away from RB Leipzig. A new report appearing in one of the UK's papers of records suggest that the North Londoners are now preparing to offer a massive transfer fee as well.
An article in the Daily Mail, corroborated by sources at Germany's SportBild, indicate that Jose Mourinho is prepared to put nearly €50 million on the table in pursuit of a player he believes to be a perfect fit for his club. Nils Richart of German website Ligainsider.de also mentions the figure in a report.
The 26-year-old RB captain's market worth has been steadily climbing over the years as he's racked up a series of wonder-goals from distance. The manner in which he leads his team on the pitch also appears uniquely effective.
Transfermarkt.de's peak worth for Sabitzer came last December with a €40 million listing. Following some early season injuries and a slight production drop-off, he's dropped to €32 in the latest appraisals.
