On September 14th, we relayed news from Italy that Juventus are looking at the possibility of agreeing a pre-contract with Tottenham Hotspur’s Mousa Dembele, but the midfielder’s wage demands and his agent fee of €4m was causing the issue.
The 31-year-old’s contract with his current employer runs down at the end of the season and he was chased by Inter Milan, but he turned them down in the summer, as per the reports in Belgium.
Luciano Spalletti’s side will host Spurs in the Champions League tie on Tuesday and Calciomercato.it claims the Serie A outfit’s director of football, Piero Ausilio, could use the fixture as an opportunity to hold talks with the English club’s management about their player.
In the summer, the north London club were demanding €30m to part ways with their player, but it’s claimed the price tag for the former Fulham man could drastically come in January.
Inter’s summer interest in the Belgian has been well documented, but for all we know, the report from the Italian outlet may not be true and Ausilio and the Nerazzurri could simply use the European game as an opportunity to watch Dembele closely in action.
