Inter Milan defender Stefan De Vrij has said that he is not thinking about a move to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur, as quoted in Soccer News.
Tottenham Hotspur interest
Sport Mediaset in Italy reported earlier this month that Tottenham manager Conte wants to sign De Vrij from Inter Milan.
The former Chelsea boss left Inter at the end of last season after guiding them to the Serie A title.
De Vrij has been on the books of Inter since 2018.
Conte was recently appointed as the new Tottenham manager.
What Stefan De Vrij has said
De Vrij said when asked about Spurs, as quoted in Soccer News: “I deny. Because I don’t know anything about anything.
“The connection may be made a bit quickly, because the coach I worked with is now working there. But I don’t know anything.”
Could Stefan De Vrij to Tottenham happen?
Inter are the defending Italian champions, and there is still a chance that they could win the Scudetto again this season.
After all, the Nerazzurri are seven points behind leaders Napoli, and only 12 rounds of matches have been played so far this season.
So, in our view, Inter are unlikely to entertain any offers for the Netherlands international in the middle of the season.
However, a transfer could well happen in the summer of 2022.
The Dutchman is out of contract at Inter in the summer of 2023.
Inter will know that they will have to sell him with one year left on his contract to get any decent transfer fee.
