Tottenham has been linked to a host of Serie A targets since former Juventus director Fabio Paratici and especially Antonio Conte took over. Despite the brevity of the contract of the coach, their project is long-term, and they will keep an eye toward the future in their signings.
Mino Raiola also met with Inter during his recent trip to Italy. He discussed the future of Stefan De Vrij, whose contract expires in 2023. The Nerazzurri intend to prolong it, but they asked for some patience. They have to take care of Marcelo Brozovic’s deal first.
Inter have suffered a triple injury blow during the ongoing international break after the Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal confirmed Stefan de Vrij's fitness issue. Before the Dutch defender picked up an injury, Alessandro Bastoni and Edin Dzeko were forced to withdraw from their national teams.
Inter took Lautaro Martinez off the market after selling Romelu Lukaku. Unlike the Belgian star, who was wooed by Chelsea, El Toro did not give in to the lucrative proposals coming from abroad. The Nerazzurri will soon reward him with a new contract, which has already been agreed upon.
Inter plan to make a significant profit in the next transfer market window and that will inevitably go through the sale of one of their stars. While there are no untouchable players, the management would like to limit the loss to only one of them. Achraf Hakimi has already received the first bids and the interest is plenty for all their top contributors.
Inter are considering making a cheap addition to the back-line and are keeping tabs on Aissa Mandi. The center-back will meet with Betis Sevilla next week but is expected to tell the club that he will not extend his expiring contract. The Nerazzurri have offered him a four-year deal worth €2M per season and are reportedly nearing an agreement.
