AC Milan and Tottenham both appear to have interest in each other’s players.
AC Milan’s reported interest in Moussa Dembele could yet prove to be more of an opportunity for Tottenham than it first appears.
Letting Dembele leave in the summer could be a practical solution for Tottenham, especially if it allows them to sign a player they covet, attacker Suso.
Suso has been linked with a move to Spurs all year, but Calcioblog and Football Italia both report he has a release clause of £44 million in his new contract.
Spurs failed with a £19 million offer for Suso in the summer, and Calciomercato reported this month that Spurs are weighing up an improved offer for the former Liverpool trainee.
Milan’s fresh interest in Moussa Dembele provides room for negotiation over a potential player plus cash swap deal.
Dembele has not been the same player this season and has been battling a nagging foot injury.
24-year-old Suso has netted seven goals this campaign and provided three assists, and is the type of gamechanger Spurs need.
