Kicking the exit door wide open on Wednesday when commenting on his Tottenham future, Christian Eriksen set a few tongues wagging around Europe, including Inter’s.
Fresh off appointing Antonio Conte as their new manager, the Serie A side are trying to give him the best tools to work his magic, which could include the Denmark international.
Gazzetta dello Sport report on Thursday the Italians are ‘informed on the situation’s details’ via Eriksen’s agent, Martin Schoots, and while it’s stated Tottenham are likely to ask for €60-70m for the final year of the Dane’s contract, Inter aren’t put off.
The Italian newspaper explain he would be the ideal creative midfielder Conte, Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio are looking for, and while he is an ‘ambitious’ objective, he is one that ‘convinces everyone’.
With Real Madrid splashing the cash elsewhere (Luka Jovic, Eder Militao and most likely Eden Hazard), there might be an opening for the Serie A club, who managed to qualify for the Champions League group stages by finishing fourth this season.Furthermore, there’s a belief the relationship between Spurs and the La Liga giants has worsened in recents weeks following the strange comments made by Mauricio Pochettino, strongly refuted by Florentino Perez and co., prior to the Champions League final.
It’s worth pointing out that Inter always end up getting linked with these big transfers without them ever really taking place.
However, with Conte now at the helm and two consecutive years of Champions League qualification under their belt, this could be the year they pull one of them off.
