Tottenham Hotspur are becoming increasingly worried as the prospect of relegation is starting to look more likely with each passing week.
Reports indicate that Tottenham Hotspur are planning for an ambitious summer squad rebuild after having a quiet January window.
However, the Lilywhites’ plans could be destroyed if they drop down to the second tier for the first time in nearly half a century.
The club are facing the prospect of being raided for their best players in the summer rather than strengthening the squad with top talent.
‘Growing fears’ at Tottenham as Micky van de Ven race intensifies
TEAMtalk say that the Spurs hierarchy are concerned about several possible big-name exits if they fail to secure their status in the top flight.
However, the most concerning case is that of Micky van de Ven, who is expected to depart Tottenham even if the club avoids relegation.
The 24-year-old is eager to play in the Champions League, and the race for his signature continues to heat up.
It is revealed that Manchester United have become the latest club to join Liverpool and Real Madrid in the race for the centre-back.
Relegation could trigger a mass exodus at Spurs
TEAMtalk say that if Tottenham finish in the bottom three, several other star players could follow Van de Ven through the door.
Cristian Romero is attracting interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and it is asserted that the Spurs captain would be unwilling to stay and play Championship football.
James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Dejan Kulusevski, Xavi Simons and others could also seek summer departures in the event of relegation.
In fact, sources say that Tottenham would ‘become the place to go for major clubs’ to add to their squad in the summer should they be relegated.
