Giay to Spurs: tabloid talk, no bid, and a longshot in January
The situation
Tottenham have been linked with Palmeiras right-back Agustín Giay as a possible answer to their right-back problem, with tabloid reports framing a January move as something that would make sense for both sides. Sport Witness wrote on 7 November that Palmeiras would want around €25m for the 22-year-old Argentine, who also has Atletico Madrid credited with interest. Nothing here amounts to contact, talks or an approach, just outlets pointing at a position Tottenham are said to need filling.
The reporting
The story has not been backed by any trusted reporter. CaughtOffside was carrying it by 5 November, itself relaying a Spanish report, and Sport Witness repeated the same line two days later while adding the €25m figure. That is one claim passed between tabloids and aggregators, not separate confirmation, and nobody with a stronger reporting record has matched it.
The outlook
On what is out there, this looks a long way from happening. Giay has 48 months left on his contract once the January window opens on 1 January 2027, so Palmeiras are under no pressure to sell, and no figure near €25m has actually been offered by Tottenham. Call it unlikely unless Spurs move from interest to an actual bid and Palmeiras decide to listen.
The context
His €20m value sits below the €25m Palmeiras are said to want, and below what Tottenham paid Lucas Bergvall, €20m to Djurgården in 2024, giving a sense of scale for a deal that is still just talk.
What happens next
Nothing changes until Tottenham make an actual offer, or Palmeiras signal they would do business in January.
