Tottenham Hotspur are in talks with Tanguy Ndombele over an early termination of his contract.
Ndombele is due to return to the north London club this summer after his loan spell at Galatasaray. Although his contract runs until 2025, Spurs are in discussions with his representatives to reach an amicable agreement and end his deal a year early.

The 27-year-old joined Spurs in the summer of 2019 from Lyon in a £55million transfer but the midfielder has not played for the club since January 9, 2022.
Ndombele returned to Ligue 1 club Lyon for the second half of the 2021-22 season, before spending the following campaign on loan at Napoli and this campaign at Galatasaray.

Tanguy Ndombele and Tottenham: How did it come to this?
The seven-time capped France international was part of the title-winning squads at Napoli and Galatasaray, but made just eight and four league starts respectively across those two spells.
Since Ndombele’s arrival, Tottenham have subsequently signed central midfielders Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Yves Bissouma, while Oliver Skipp is also now established in the first-team squad.
Across his two-and-a-half seasons at Spurs, Ndombele made 91 appearances, scoring 10 goals.
