Agent: 'Keita refused Tottenham for Inter. He will not be another Cancelo'

Agent: 'Keita refused Tottenham for Inter. He will not be another Cancelo'

Keita Balde's agent Roberto Calenda spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about his client and his future at Inter.

"Keita has been painted a different man than he is. At Lazio, they started a war against him in the past and a wrong portrait has spread, that of a crazy man," he said.

"Inter was immediately receptive once the possibility of closing the operation was understood. There were other interested teams. Since last January, Napoli had moved. We also received calls from Tottenham. But faced with the possibility of Inter, Keita had no doubts, he immediately made his wishes understood.

"I have the impression that Keita will not be another Cancelo. Inter will find a way to redeem the player. There is time until the end of May. 34 million are needed, the total price is 40. But it is a figure that falls within the parameters for a player of that age, with his numbers in terms of goals and assists. If he does what he has to do, there will be no doubt about his permanence at Inter," Calenda concluded.
