​Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs monitoring Sevilla left-back Joaquín Oso, as the Spanish club has yet to decide whether to push through a contract renewal or open the door to a summer sale. Credit to Sport Witness for relaying the latest Spain-based reporting, which indicates the situation is edging toward a decision point.
Oso, 23, has become a live market option because he has less than a year remaining on his current deal, and Sevilla are struggling to strike a renewal agreement with his camp. The central issue is clear: the club wants to extend his contract, but his representatives have demanded terms they deem too high, effectively placing the renewal negotiations on hold.
Tottenham are now listed alongside Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest as players in the race for Oso. The report notes that Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest are “in the picture for Joaquín Oso and are awaiting Sevilla’s final decision.” Newcastle is described as the club that has already made contact, while it remains unclear whether Spurs and Nottingham Forest have made formal approaches.
There is also broader competition. Villarreal, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, and Fiorentina are all credited with interest, following Oso’s performances last season that raised his profile. He appeared in 24 first-team matches in the previous campaign and, although not a long-established starter, managed to attract attention across multiple markets.
A key development centers on Sevilla’s stance. The report claims the club “have issued an ultimatum to Joaquín Oso’s representatives” and have “set a deadline to close the renewal negotiations immediately.” If no agreement is reached, Sevilla will “make him available on the market with a €10m starting price,” which is about £8.6m. That figure is well within reach for Premier League teams monitoring the situation.
From Tottenham’s viewpoint, this situation resembles a classic watch-and-wait scenario. There is no clear indication that Spurs are leading the pack, and “Oso’s suitors have to wait until Sevilla’s deadline before advancing further.” That suggests the next move lies with Sevilla and the player’s camp.
For Tottenham supporters, the report is intriguing because it hints at a younger, more opportunistic recruitment approach. Joaquín Oso is not a high-profile star, but that can be exactly where smart value lies. If Sevilla does put him on the market at around £8.6m, Spurs would be considering a relatively low-risk acquisition for a 23-year-old left-back with room to develop.
The central question remains how serious Tottenham’s interest is. Being “in the picture” can indicate genuine interest, or it can simply reflect that a club has conducted background checks and is waiting to see if price and conditions become favorable. In any case, the developing dynamic at Sevilla could steer the path for a potential transfer, with Tottenham among the teams watching closely as the clock ticks toward Sevilla’s stated deadline.
