Tottenham and Newcastle target de Vrij rejects Inter contract
It is a huge boost to both clubs. It means that Inter will now have to cash in on the experienced defender this summer, and are willing to do business for as little as £9million. Spurs and Newcastle should be on red alert.
Spurs have already done business with Inter this summer, albeit for one of their players in Ivan Perisic. The Croatian ace was out of contract and despite Inter’s best efforts, Spurs proved too tempting for the 113-time international.
De Vrij would play alongside a recognisable face in Perisic then, and form a reunion with Conte. Steven Bergwijn is also an international teammate. A move to Spurs seems likely, while Newcastle have the cash.
