Tottenham must find Ј10M for Dortmund ace Rosicky
tribalfootball.com - March 26, 2005
Tottenham will have to cough up £10 million if they want to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Tomas Rosicky.
The Czech Republic international confirmed yesterday that Tottenham had been in talks with both his agent and BVB about an end-of-season deal.
Dortmund have serious financial problems and the summer sale of the 24-year-old Rosicky looks an increasingly likely prospect, with the German side looking for around Ј10m.
Rosicky, who was reportedly a target for Chelsea, Porto and Barcelona last summer, insists the lack of European football at Spurs would not affect his desire to move to the club.
"Given the current position of Dortmund in the Bundesliga there are no guarantees that I would be playing in Europe with Borussia either," he said. "Spurs are a traditional club and I 'm pleased to know they want me."
