The Tottenham boss is planning a quadruple swoop for strikers Diego Milito and Roman Pavlyuchenko, plus wingers David Bentley and Diego Capel.

Ramos is relying on the £25m price tag on Berbatov and the £18m for Keane - despite Tottenham’s claims the duo are not for sale.

Leaving: Berbatov

Moving on: Robbie Keane

White Hart Lane chairman Daniel Levy is threatening to report Manchester United and Liverpool over alleged illegal approaches for his star strikers -but both have said they want to leave and The Sun reports that the club are already planning for their departures.

First on Ramos’ wanted list is Real Zaragoza striker Milito, a 29-year-old Argentine international recommended by assistant boss Gustavo Poyet.

Milito scored 15 goals last season and is seen as the perfect replacement for Berbatov - despite Anfield boss Rafa Benitez claiming he is not quick enough for the Premier League.

Real Zaragoza are ready to sell Milito for £10m after their relegation from La Liga.

Ramos plans to team him up with Pavlyuchenko, the man who scored both of Russia’s goals when they beat England in a Euro 2008 qualifier last October.

Wanted man: Bentley

Target: Pavlyuchenko

Spartak Moscow have already rejected Tottenham’s £10m bid for the 26-year-old striker, and claim they will not sell to a club who have not qualified for the Champions League.

But the Londoners are confident an improved offer of about £15m will clinch a deal.

It is the same story with wide men Bentley and Capel, who have also been the subject of unsuccessful bids.

Blackburn snubbed Spurs’ £12m offer for Bentley last week and will not sell for less than £17m. Seville left winger Capel, 20, could cost at least £15m.

Former Seville boss Ramos gave Capel his chance at the club, but relations between the teams have been strained since the manager’s move to London last October.

Spurs’ initial £12.5m bid for Capel included the proviso the Spaniards dropped their £3m compensation claim for Ramos.

But Seville will not let their Spanish Under-21 star go on the cheap and aim to squeeze every penny they can out of Spurs.
