Tottenham Hotspur have already made contact with Sporting CP over a potential deal for striker Pedro Goncalves, according to print edition Portuguese news outlet Record (23/4/23).
The north Londoners are said to have initiated contact with Sporting in order to potentially beat fellow Premier League side Aston Villa to secure the signature of the attacker.
Goncalves has a £71m release clause within his contract with Sporting not prepared to budge too much with his former side Famalicao due 50% of the next sell-on fee for their ex-player.
The 24-year-old has netted 19 goals and provided twelve assists in 45 appearances in all competitions this season (transfermarkt).
Tottenham have seen both Fabio Paratici and acting head coach Cristian Stellini both depart the club in the space of a week to put the spotlight on Daniel Levy and the direction of the club.

SpursWeb Opinion
Tottenham know all too well just how difficult it is to negotiate with Sporting after they took the deal for Pedro Porro right to the wire during the January transfer window, they will only do business on their own terms.
Any potential interest in players needs to be put on ice until a new head coach and a sporting director are appointed. ‘Club signings’ with the greatest respect to Djed Spence and Arnaut Danjuma have not been fair to the player as we have seen this season with this pair – all future business has to be the right kind of deals to take us forward in the right manner.
