Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Chelsea are also reportedly monitoring the young defender.

Despite interest from various clubs, Miguel is said to be holding a desire to return to his childhood club, Real Madrid, where he began his football journey at the age of nine.

The 22-year-old was sold to fellow La Liga side Girona in the summer of 2022 for €4 million, with Real Madrid retaining a buyback clause of €8 million and 50% rights to the player.

Since joining Girona, Miguel has been a regular starter, featuring in all 22 La Liga games this season, contributing one goal and three assists.

Known for his versatility, he has also been deployed as a left midfielder in nine matches this campaign.

While Tottenham may hesitate to make a significant investment in Miguel, especially with Destiny Udogie performing well recently, the club’s recent ambitions could lead them to pursue the player despite his current market value of €20 million.
