Tottenham are already struggling badly in the Premier League season as they have slipped to the 14th position in the points table. The club should be busy in the upcoming summer transfer window, with some players leaving the club as well. However, it seems like Spurs might miss out on a serious transfer that was going to happen but now might be stopped due to the injury to the player.
Tottenham sent Bryan Gil on loan to Girona in the summer of 2024 after he failed to impress in the last season. It was quite certain that the club would have sold him permanently this summer. Spanish news outlet AS even reported that Girona might have activated the £13 million option to buy at the end of the season.
Tottenham loanee Bryan Gil’s injury might force Girona to not buy him permanently
However, things have turned bad for both the player and the club. Gil’s knee injury kept him sidelined in Girona’s 1-1 draw at home against Valencia. His manager has even gone on to say that this might be a season-ending injury for the 24-year-old. Spanish outlet Sport via Sportwitness have even revealed that Gil might have to have the surgery procedure, which might rule him out of football for quite some time.
Tottenham might have surely hoped that Girona would have permanently bought him at the end of the season. However, with Gil’s injury, it is quite unlikely that the Spanish club will straight forward activate his buyout clause. Moreover, after the spell that he has had at Tottenham, it does not look like the English club might be counting on him.

Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert, Heung-min Son, Richarlison, and Mikey Moore already play the same position that Gil plays. So, it is unlikely that Tottenham can find a space for him. The club had to spend £21.6m plus Erik Lamela to sign the player and if Girona does not activate the buyout clause, then it will turn out to be quite a loss for the English club.
How will it turn out for Spurs?
Tottenham’s Bryan Gil saga is a headache turning into a nightmare. Loaned to Girona in 2024 after flopping at Spurs, the hope was they’d snap him up for £13 million. Now, a brutal knee injury—possibly season-ending—has torched that plan. Surgery looms, and Girona won’t likely buy damaged goods. Spurs, who splashed £21.6m plus Lamela to get him, are stuck. With Son, Richarlison, and others crowding his spot, Gil’s got no future here. It is a financial flop—Levy’s gamble backfired, and the club are left counting the cost.
