Inter plot ambitious swap deal with Spurs
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
Having already secured the signatures of Stefan de Vrij, Kwadwo Asamoah and Lautaro Martínez, Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio’s next priority is to sign a new midfielder ahead of next season’s UEFA Champions League campaign.
However, agreeing a deal with Spurs will not be easy, especially given the fact that chairman Daniel Levy values the 30-year-old at €30 million. Meanwhile, Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan are also said to be interested in luring the ex-Fulham schemer away from London.
One way in which Ausilio could lower Levy’s asking price would be to include João Mário in a potential deal. The Portuguese internationalist would relish the chance to continue his career in England, having failed to impress during his short stay in Serie A.
