According to Leggo, Inter Milan have now put Milan Škriniar up for sale, amid interest from Tottenham and Manchester United.
The Italian news outlet claim that Inter Milan are in desperate need of cash to keep their head above water.
As a result, Antonio Conte is open to sacrificing Škriniar or Stefan de Vrij, with Leggo believing the former is more likely to go as he’s worth more.
This news will surely be of interest to Tottenham.
As Leggo state, they are keen to sign the 26-year-old.
However, you could even argue that Spurs are desperate for him.
Tottenham’s interest in the 39-cap Slovakia international goes as far back as September 2020, when they made a £32 million bid.
Even with José Mourinho gone, it sounds as if Tottenham want Škriniar regardless – now could be their best chance yet.
Inter Milan are seriously struggling financially. Leggo even describe the potential cash for Škriniar as like ‘oxygen’ to the Italian giants.
In our view, Tottenham should go all out for Inter Milan’s No.37.
At 26, he is a player who could make an impact immediately, but one who’s also young enough to be a good long-term investment.
Additionally, Spurs don’t really have an outstanding centre-back apart from Toby Alderweireld – even the Belgian is waning somewhat.
Eric Dier, Joe Rodon and Davinson Sanchez have failed to convince this season, so a colossus who can be relied on every week is certainly needed.
As those in the Premier League sit on their riches while others around Europe find themselves cash-strapped, Tottenham must be ruthless.
There may not be a better chance for Tottenham to finally sign a player they’ve been eyeing for nearly a year now.
