This step came a week after the resignation of club chairman Daniel Levy, who had been at the helm for nearly 25 years.

The loan, typical for Premier League clubs, was secured after an active summer transfer window, where Tottenham spent over £173 million, signing players like Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus.

Currently, the club is managing long-term debts estimated to exceed £750 million, resulting from stadium financing.

The loan was secured against guaranteed income from media rights that the club expects to receive from the Premier League this season.

This news emerged following the unexpected decision to remove Levy from his position, after which rumors of a potential sale of the club arose, though these claims were denied.

The football club stated that it “received and unequivocally rejected” two offers for sale, one of which came from former Newcastle owner Amanda Staveley.

In its statement, the club confirmed, “The club's board and Enic assert that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale, and Enic has no intention of accepting any offers to acquire its stake in the club.”

Tottenham CEO Vinay Venkatesham emphasized on Monday that “it is unequivocally clear that Tottenham Hotspur is not for sale.”

However, the former Arsenal executive acknowledged that the club is seeking investment.

He noted, “It is fair to say that we have strong backing from the Lewis family regarding our ambitions to succeed on the field, both in men's and women's football.”

“They understand that this will require investment and have our full support.”

Tottenham is going through a period of change following Daniel Levy's long tenure, which may impact its financial strategy and team performance. The acquired loan is expected to be a significant step towards improving cash flow, especially amid substantial transfer spending. At the same time, the club is attempting to dispel rumors of a potential sale, emphasizing its ambitions to maintain stability and continue evolving.
