Just in: Tottenham explained why their midfielder contract was terminated because of £200M wages.

Tottenham are preparing to terminate Tanguy Ndombele’s contract a year before the official end date.
The French midfielder, whose contract runs until June 2025, will leave the club this summer.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham have been negotiating with Ndombele for some time to reach an agreement on payment and have now reached a mutual agreement.
The Lilywhites have decided to pay Ndombele £5 million to facilitate his early termination of his contract.
The report adds that the club are expected to announce Ndombele’s departure soon.
The move is largely driven by his substantial weekly salary of £200,000, which makes him Tottenham’s highest earner, surpassing even star player Heung-min Son and James Madison.
(Spotrac) Tottenham is actively looking for a buyer for Ndombele before the next transfer window but cannot find a suitable club willing to accept his high salary.
The 27-year-old has struggled to impress during his loan spell, most recently at Galatasaray, where he started just four of Turkey’s 19 Super Lig games, totaling 454 minutes of action.
Thu’s match (Transfermarkt) Ndombele’s time.
Tottenham has caused a big disappointment.
Recruited from Lyon in 2019 for a record fee of 62 million euros, he is expected to play a transformative role in midfield.
However, he failed to meet expectations, contributing only 10 goals and 9 assists in 91 appearances for the club.
As Tottenham aim to revamp their squad for next season, parting ways with Ndombele would free up significant wage space and allow the club to focus on signing players who better fit their plans their.
