Both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United will walk away from a potential transfer for David Raya unless Brentford lower their £40million asking price for the highly-rated goalkeeper.
That is according to the Evening Standard, who claim both Spurs and United are unwilling to pay the Bees' current asking price considering Raya has just 12 months left on his contract with the west London club. The Spanish international's agent Jaume Munell has also made his frustrations public, claiming that his client will leave on a free transfer next summer if Thomas Frank's side don't lower their asking price this summer.
"If Brentford does not lower the price tag for David Raya this summer, we’ll be ready to leave as [a] free agent in one year," Munell said last month. Tottenham are in need of a new 'keeper this summer, with Hugo Lloris set to leave the north London club.
football.london reported in February that Spurs have scoured the market to create a lengthy shortlist of options to succeed Lloris. Joining Raya on the list is Valencia star Giorgi Mamardashvili, Brighton's Robert Sanchez and AC Milan shot-stopper Mike Maignan.
Lloris recently admitted that he would like a fresh start this summer, having captained the Lilywhites in each of the last eight seasons. Speaking about his future to French newspaper Nice-Matin earlier this month, he said: “We are coming to an important moment, whether for the club or for me.
"It’s the end of an era. I have desires for other things, I will ask myself quietly to study what will be possible.

“But I don’t forget that I still have a year of contract with Tottenham and that in football it is always difficult to predict what will happen. What is essential at the moment is to recover well from my injury.
"I’m on vacation but I continue to talk and do my training. My goal is to be on top in July, then we’ll see what the future holds.”
