Real Betis have told Tottenham Hotspur they will have to pay €60 million (£53.1m) for Loren Moron this summer, according to Estadio Deportivo via @TalkingTHFC.
The Spanish outlet claims the Big Greens have informed suitors they will need to buyout his release clause to tempt him away from the Estadio Benito Villamarin before the start of next season.

Recent reports suggest Spurs have been eyeing up a move for Moron, with the club keeping tabs on him over the past year.
Having joined Real Betis B from Marbella FC on a free transfer, the Spaniard broke through into the senior squad in 2018, and he has quickly made a name for himself with the Heliopolitans. The 26-year-old scored 9 goals in 26 games in La Liga for Rubi’s side this season, creating 2 assists, and taking 1.6 shots on average via WhoScored.

Naturally, many Spurs fans ripped into the “moronic deal,” with one fan suggesting they will first loan him and then buy for €20m in January, calling it “the Levy special.” Meanwhile another added he is an “average” striker.

I fully expect Levy to offer half a furlough scheme and 4 of the nurses currently working at the stadium.
