Tottenham have had a third offer totalling £60million (€65m) for Bruno Fernandes rejected by Sporting Lisbon today.

After two previous bids of £41.5m and £55m were rejected by Sporting, a third offer has been submitted but the Primeira Liga club are standing firm on their £65m (€70m) valuation of the midfielder.

Specifically, the new offer was €55m up front with €10m in add-ons, depending on individual goals and collective goals.

However, Sporting's president Frederico Varandas is sticking to his guns, stating that Fernandes will only be allowed to leave for €70m, as he has always told Tottenham.

Miguel Pinho, Bruno Fernandes' manager, has already reported Sporting's refusal to Tottenham, but the English club has not yet decided whether or not this was the last offer - Mauricio Pochettino is very interested in taking the Portuguese international to London.

However, at this current moment, Tottenham seem unwilling to pay the €70m required for Fernandes, even with possible bonuses.

The former Sampdoria man has already informed Sporting that he would like to leave, preferably to England, with Manchester United also keeping an eye on the situation.

The Sporting Lisbon captain has been in demand all summer, with Spurs, Manchester United and Liverpool among the clubs linked with the 24-year-old.

Despite the fact Fernandes has been highly courted all summer, Tottenham or any English club will have to act fast if they want to secure his signature - the English transfer window closes tomorrow at 17:00 (BST).
