Tottenham are reportedly in discussions with Monaco over loaning Pape Matar Sarr to the Ligue 1 club after they made an approach.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Monaco have asked about Sarr’s availability, and it seems that a season-long loan deal could be possible.
The Senegal international hasn’t quite lived up to expectations at Tottenham, so it perhaps makes sense that he’ll now be available this summer.
Spurs have spent big money on their midfield, bringing in Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, so there’s probably no room for Sarr now.
“AS Monaco have made approach with Pape Matar Sarr’s camp over possible loan move. Discussions took place about project and salary,” Romano posted on X.

It seems things are already moving, so any fans looking into how to buy Tottenham vs Newcastle tickets can probably expect that Sarr won’t be involved by the time that game comes around.

It will be interesting to see how Sarr gets on at Monaco, and if he can do enough there to convince Roberto De Zerbi that he could come back and be a regular with THFC in the future.
Tottenham to make sales after big spending?
While it sounds like Sarr’s exit will only be on loan, it could still be that Tottenham will push for a buy option or obligation in the deal.

The 23-year-old is surely not in their long-term plans, so that means they’d be better off trying to make some money from his exit after so much big spending on new signings.
Spurs brought in Tonali and Fernandes…
