Frustrated Tottenham winger Bryan Gil finds himself in a challenging situation, feeling a lack of trust from manager Ange Postecoglou, similar to the circumstances Eric Dier experienced before his move to Bayern Munich.
Gil’s limited playing time, marked by only two Premier League starts this season, has fueled his perception of being unfairly treated, leading to speculations about his future at the club.
The 23-year-old’s struggles on the pitch were evident during the match against Manchester City, where he was substituted at halftime after losing possession six times.
Since then, Gil has encountered a significant reduction in playing opportunities, starting only one league match since December 3 and being included in the match-day squad for just one of the last five top-flight contests.
Despite rejoining Tottenham after a loan spell at Sevilla, Gil’s playing time has been sparse, accumulating only 221 minutes this season. Reports indicate that the Spanish winger, with four international caps, feels disillusioned with the lack of trust from Postecoglou.
It is suggested that Gil’s decision to remain at Spurs beyond the January transfer window was driven by a desire to prove himself to the club, emphasizing his weariness of loan moves.
Previously loaned to Valencia and Sevilla, Gil aims to secure a permanent spot at Tottenham. However, his concerns about a lack of trust from the manager have intensified, potentially leading to a parting of ways this summer. With his contract expiring in 2026, Gil’s departure seems likely, especially given his desire to return to La Liga.
Sevilla emerges as Gil’s preferred destination, considering his emotional connection to the club, where he previously won the Europa League.
Despite rejecting loan proposals from Fiorentina, Brighton, and Feyenoord in January, Gil is reportedly ready to depart. A fee in the range of £5.9 million (€7 million) could secure his services, a valuation that Spurs were willing to consider in the January transfer window.
Real Sociedad, previously interested but financially constrained in January, could revisit their pursuit of Gil. Mallorca, led by Javier Aguirre, who coached the player at Leganes, emerges as another potential bidder. As Gil navigates uncertainties at Tottenham, his desire for regular playing time and trust from the manager could steer his path toward a new chapter in La Liga.
