# Tottenham Hotspur: Daniel Levy lining up big money Brendan Rodgers offer

**According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-to-offer-rodgers-the-earth-as-stunning-triple-your-money-deal-lined-up/), a Tottenham Hotspur source has explained that the club and Daniel Levy will offer to triple Brendan Rodgers’ salary in an attempt to prise him from Leicester City – even despite the northern Irishman publicly distancing himself from the job.**

Rodgers, who has guided the Foxes to a highly likely place in the Champions League next season, explained in a press conference that his focus was purely at the King Power Stadium ([FourFourTwo](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/leicester-manager-brendan-rodgers-rules-himself-out-of-tottenham-job)).

### Tottenham lining up big money Rodgers offer

Regardless, as per this new information from a Tottenham source speaking to FI, Levy is lining up a big money offer to treble Rodgers’ wages in the hope of tempting him away.

This comes nearly a decade after he was allegedly Levy’s ‘[preferred choice](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-rodgers-top-contender-manager/)‘ to replace Harry Redknapp but opted for the role at Liverpool instead.

Spurs have not given up hope of landing Rodgers as per this report and are now willing to table a lucrative offer of [£15 million-per-year including bonuses.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-to-offer-rodgers-the-earth-as-stunning-triple-your-money-deal-lined-up/)

The source also explains that Levy is looking to ‘[offer him the earth](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-to-offer-rodgers-the-earth-as-stunning-triple-your-money-deal-lined-up/)‘ – and that is bordering on literate given the £15m-per-year wage is even more than previous boss Mourinho, who was on [£12.5m-per-year.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-to-offer-rodgers-the-earth-as-stunning-triple-your-money-deal-lined-up/)

### Transfer Tavern take

Mourinho is still getting his full base salary whilst on gardening leave [according to reports](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-mourinho-and-his-coaches-rejected-8m-levy-offer-before-tottenham-exits/), so we advise to take this one with a pinch of salt.

Amid the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, news of Levy being willing to offer a Mourinho successor £15m-per-season comes as very surprising – especially considering the club still haven’t found a deal for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium naming rights.

That being said, Rodgers would be a dream appointment for Spurs – with BT Sport pundit Robbie Savage recently dubbing him an ‘elite manager’ (via [the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9257179/Robbie-Savage-hails-elite-manager-Brendan-Rodgers-taking-Leicester-second-table.html)).
