However, Frank has also stated his position on Raya being a €40+ player, and the Catalan stopper believes that asking price is blocking his exit.
“I know there are rumours about me leaving,” as per reports from The Times, from Spain’s UEFA Euro Nations League finals camp.
“There are some options for me to go but obviously Brentford are asking for a lot of money.
“That could make clubs not want to buy me, it could make them look somewhere else. But if that’s the value they give me then it’s up to them.
“I have ambitions to make the next step in my career. I want to to win titles and to compete in Europe in the next couple of years.
“I’m 27 now and I feel I’m at the point in my career when I want to make that step up. There are options out there but it’s not just my ambitions, the club also needs to let me go.”
Raya is expected to head off on a summer break after the UEFA Nations League final with Brentford and Tottenham continuing their talks over a deal.
