Tottenham are asking for around £20 million for Manor Solomon, while Leeds is hoping to seal the deal for closer to £15 million, according to TBR Football journalist Graeme Bailey.
Solomon joined Tottenham in the summer of 2023 as a free agent, meaning any sale would be recorded as pure profit. If he is indeed sold for £20 million (approximately $26.5 million), he would become the most expensive Israeli soccer player of all time. The current record is held by Munas Dabbur, who was bought by Sevilla in the summer of 2019 for $19 million.
According to the report, additional clubs have expressed interest in Solomon, including Everton, where new CEO Angus Kinnear and new advisor Nick Hammond know him well from their time at Leeds. Several European teams are also reportedly eyeing him, with Marseille among the clubs mentioned.
However, TBR Football sources say Solomon’s current preference is to remain at Leeds and complete a permanent move to Elland Road, following a standout season with the club.

The 25-year-old winger joined Leeds on loan last summer and has enjoyed the best season of his career. He was involved in 22 league goals, with 12 assists, placing him third in the Championship’s assist rankings. He also scored 10 goals in 39 league appearances, making him Leeds’ third-highest scorer this season.
On the final matchday of the season, Solomon scored a 91st-minute winner in a 2–1 victory over Plymouth, securing the Championship title for Leeds. According to Jonny Cooper — a statistician at Opta and a Leeds supporter — Solomon started 31 games this season, with Leeds winning 22 of them — a 71% win rate, the highest in the club’s history.
