Liverpool and Tottenham set to miss out on Federico Redondo

Well, it was Emmanuel Luiz – a South American journalist – who claimed that the Argentina U23 international is a target for both Spurs and the Reds.

He told The Redmen TV Podcast: “What I can tell you right now, there is a guy here in Latin America called Federico Redondo, he is from Argentina Juniors. Clubs in the big six are looking for Redondo to buy him right now or loan him… clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham.”

Now – however – Redondo surprisingly appears to be close to joining Inter Miami.

Merlo wrote on X (previously known as Twitter): “Inter Miami has very advanced negotiations to buy the transfer of Federico Redondo, midfielder for the Argentine U23 National Team and Argentinos Juniors.

“The team prepares a proposal of $8m (£6m) – a figure that Argentinos Juniors is willing to accept. With @victortuchi”.

Who is Federico Redondo?

By the sounds of it, Liverpool and Tottenham are set to miss out on a precocious talent.

Redondo – son of Fernando Redondo – is a stylish No.6 who protects the ball remarkably well and progresses it forwards effectively, much like Inter Miami No.5 Sergio Busquets.

The Argentine does not score many goals – he only has two in 58 appearances throughout his career – although as far as holding midfield prospects go, he is right up there as one of the most exciting around.
