Think I might have said before that there's probably good value in spending a couple million more than we want on Sanchez if we think that we might want to go back to buy another player or two from Ajax in the future. I'm a big Levy fan but one downside of over-negotiating things is that it can ruin relationships and impact future deals

"Fall of pound means Tottenham face paying more for Davinson Sánchez by the day
Premier League clubs are facing demands for ever higher transfer fees and for players’ wages to be paid in euros because of the collapse in the value of the pound since the Brexit vote.
As sterling fell this week to its lowest value since Britain emerged from the financial crash, the consequences for top-flight clubs have been laid bare by the ongoing haggling over the future of Ajax’s Davinson Sánchez.
The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports that as negotiations between Tottenham and Ajax have dragged on over the 21-year-old defender, Ajax have been insisting on increasing their asking price to reflect the day-by-day fall in the value of the pound.
The newspaper reports: “Spurs will have to pay more by the day. Compared with the end of the previous season, the pound is 6% lower. On the sum that Ajax want (€50m), that’s already a difference of €3m. And the expectation is that the free fall will not stop.”
It is claimed by the newspaper that because of this “complication”, Tottenham are seeking to speed up the signing of the Colombian international, but that Ajax are happy to slow the pace of negotiations down, with Chelsea and Real Madrid showing some interest. Officials from Tottenham were said to be in Amsterdam on Monday."
etc.

good ol' Guardian, Brexit blaming as usual

It's De Telegraaf reporting that not the Guardian.
You could understand if Ajax wanted to agree a price in Euros rather than pounds.

its the kind of news the Guardian loves, no matter the source
So if you were Ajax would you rather negotiate in pounds or Euros?

A few questions:
- Will the player play? He might refuse, even if he doesn't Ajax don't want a non-committed player on the pitch.
- Has Levy already transferred currency into Euros? It is quite common for companies who purchase in dollars or Euros to do this at advantageous times when the home currency is stronger. Not to mention its Mr Jo's area of expertise. Still Brexit is not doing anyone in the UK any favours. Inflation is here. Prices of everything imported, from Footballers to electrical items, is on the up.
- How much do we want him? I think a lot, and for good reason. He's not the finished article, but that fits with our model. He'd fit in well with our squad and has the ingredients to become a high quality CB. Hopefully Ajax will compromise.

I'd be amazed if Ajax we not insisting on Euros. The problem with this for us is that we normally look to structure payments over a number of years with additional sums based on performance. It is not unreasonable to think that the pound will hit parity or drop below the Euro during the contract length meaning that this could cost us a lot more than it would be now.

I would also be shocked if ENIC don't have a considerable $ facility on the other side of water, Canary Wharf!

Indeed, its just lazy journalism.
It would obviously be in Euros. The majority of their expenditure is in € so they'd fix this in €. Pretty much every company you'll find will look to match the rough currency split of their income/assets with their liabilities

It's the sort of things that get reported when it takes about a month to sign a contract ...
Must be all of the exotic middle names that he has ... signature goes on a bit.
But that won't sell newspapers

but it does get reactions online... and those clicks are worth a few pennies

Easy money if covering our speed of transfer negotiations ... just have to change player name, position played, and current team. Then rehash every year ... take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves

Sanchez developments "in coming hours"
Dutch publication De Telegraaf are reporting that there may well be developments on the Davinson Sanchez front in the next few hours.
However, they also claim that could mean a pause in negotiations.
The report claims that Ajax are playing hardball over the defender - with Spurs as it stands refusing to budge on their offer of just under €40m , €10m short of the Dutch club’s valuation.
