# Tottenham: Spurs target Abdou Diallo has price tag reduced

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) target Abdou Diallo has seen his valuation lowered by Paris Saint-Germain, according to [Goal France](https://www.goal.com/fr/news/kalimuendo-paredes-gueye-wijnaldum-diallo-kehrer-un-debut-aout-charge-dans-le-sens-des-departs/blte3cc90cf6e5edec7).**

### The lowdown: Spurs interested in Diallo

Prior to landing Clement Lenglet from Barcelona for the duration of the 2022/23 campaign, Spurs had [reportedly](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Paredes-icardi-diallo-et-si-paris-vendait-enfin-bien/1342860) attempted to sign Diallo from PSG during the summer transfer window.

However, the Lilywhites were seemingly put off by a [€30m (£25m) asking price](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2022/spurs-quoted-e30m-to-sign-abdou-diallo/) placed on the head of the Senegal defender, who was part of his country’s [Africa Cup of Nations winning triumph](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/erfolge/spieler/229005) earlier this year.

It now appears as though the Ligue 1 champions are growing desperate in their attempts to offload Diallo and have reduced their demands, potentially bringing Tottenham back into the mix…

### The latest: Diallo price tag lowered

As per [Goal France](https://www.goal.com/fr/news/kalimuendo-paredes-gueye-wijnaldum-diallo-kehrer-un-debut-aout-charge-dans-le-sens-des-departs/blte3cc90cf6e5edec7), PSG are believed to have ‘lowered the amount’ required to sign the [17-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/nationalmannschaft/spieler/229005/verein_id/3499) defender, but only after signing reinforcements in the position.

It’s claimed that the Parisian giants would now accept bids in the region of €20m (£16.7m) for Diallo and mentions the previous admiration from Tottenham.

The report also states that Rennes and Napoli are keen on the man who was hailed as being [‘strong in the air and shrewd in the challenge’](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/mainz-s-jurgen-klopp-heir-abdou-diallo-natural-leader-467746.jsp) by former Mainz sporting director Rouven Schroder.

### The verdict: No-brainer

At the freshly reported fee – which is barely north of the Senegal ace’s estimated [£16.2m market value](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/marktwertverlauf/spieler/229005) – signing a player of Diallo’s calibre makes huge sense for Fabio Paratici in order to further bolster the defensive department at Antonio Conte’s beck and call.

Despite struggling to hold down a regular place at PSG following a [£28.8m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/transfers/spieler/229005) switch from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, the defender has still accumulated [75 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/229005) for the French champions.

\[freshpress-quiz id=”397976″\]

Last season, Diallo had [16 outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/leistungsdaten/spieler/229005/plus/0?saison=2021) across all competitions under Mauricio Pochettino, earning an impressive 6.92 [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/abdou-diallo/280435) rating whilst winning 4.8 duels, completing 1.6 dribbles and making 1.1 clearances per game in Ligue 1, highlighting an impressive defensive and attacking acumen.

Capable of operating as a left-back and a central defender, with [Sergio Reguilon](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-reguilon-sources/) and [Japhet Tanganga](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/tottenham-hotspur-spurs-japhet-tanganga-transfer-news-latest-ac-milan/) both potentially on the way out of N17, adding Diallo to the Tottenham ranks would be a smart move, especially after PSG lowering their valuation of the player.
