Former footballer turned pundit Tony Cascarino suggests that Dominic Solanke could be poised for a significant move to a club like Tottenham or Chelsea. However, he doubts that either London club would be willing to meet the hefty release clause in the striker's contract.
Amidst speculation linking him with a move to Tottenham, reports from Football Insider have indicated the club's genuine interest in securing Solanke's services this summer, aiming to fill the void left by Harry Kane's departure.
Recent reports from TBR Football suggest that Solanke's contract with Bournemouth includes a release clause of approximately £65 million, which can only be activated by a select few clubs, including Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool.
However, Cascarino questions whether any of these clubs would be willing to trigger the release clause based on just one standout season from Solanke.
During an appearance on talkSPORT, Cascarino expressed his doubts about the likelihood of clubs meeting the £65 million valuation for Solanke. He acknowledged the striker's improvement over his career but suggested that the price tag might be too steep, especially considering the risk associated with his performance consistency.
Given the Premier League's adherence to Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR), there is an expectation of reduced spending across the division this summer. Consequently, it seems improbable that any club would be willing to activate the £65 million release clause. However, Bournemouth might entertain offers in the region of £50 million for the striker.
