The Interest of Inter Milan in Mousa Dembélé
The interest of Inter Milan in one of the members of the Spurs squad has been going on for some time. The neroazzurri have not lost sight of Mousa Dembélé (30 years old) at any time and are aware that the player's contract ends in 2019, which makes it easier for anyone interested in the financial aspect, especially if he is not clear about his future in London.
The Belgian midfielder has shown to be a player with extraordinary abilities, but he has suffered from significant inconsistency in order to establish himself as one of the best players in his position. Mauricio Pochettino has constantly shown his trust in him, but that hasn't prevented him from choosing other players who are in peak condition ahead of him, thus limiting his playing time. This is something he will consider when deciding his future, a future in which Inter comes into play.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the player's value is estimated at €20M, which appears to be a sum that is beyond the financial means of the Italians, prompting them to look for alternatives that could facilitate the transfer. In this twist, Tottenham could propose an attractive idea to the neroazzurri, including Ivan Perisic (29 years old) in the equation.
In this new framework for the operation, Spurs would be willing to include the Belgian midfielder plus a financial incentive to make the transfer of the Croatian happen. Perisic's value is higher and he is under contract until 2022 in Milan. In fact, a possible departure of Perisic would explain the great interest of the Italians in new members for the flank, with names like Simone Verdi, Memphis Depay, Domenico Berardi and Matteo Politano being mentioned.
