Report: Spurs face competition with Man City and Real Madrid for defender
Fichajes have claimed that Antonio Conte has asked the Tottenham hierarchy to snap up Inter Milan centre-back Alessandro Bastoni.
Bastoni was reported to be Tottenham’s top centre-back target in the summer (Football.London) but the North London club were unsuccessful in their pursuit of the 23-year-old.
Inter Live reported a few days ago that Spurs are set to reignite their pursuit of the Inter star at the end of the current season.
The report stated that Inter are keen to tie the Italy international down to a new contract, with his current deal running out in 2024.
However, the Nerazzurri were said to be wary of interest from Tottenham, who were alleged to be ready to pay €50m (£43.7m) for the centre-back’s services.
Fichajes have now claimed that Conte, who has been one of the ‘great supporters’ of Bastoni, is keen to reunite with the Italy international at Tottenham.
However, it is asserted that the Lilywhites face competition from Real Madrid and Manchester City for the Inter star.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham look certain to try again for Bastoni next summer but it remains to be seen if a deal will be possible, given that several top clubs are likely to have an eye on the 23-year-old. Hopefully, the Conte factor will give us an edge over the other suitors.
