Back on Tuesday morning, the Portuguese media presented some quotes from Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier, as he claimed that Sporting are still his ‘home’ and that was seen as a message that he could return to the club.
It turns out that the 29-year-old may have an offer to go somewhere else before making a return to Lisbon, and that’s AS Roma.
The Giallorossi don’t know when Chris Smalling will be back in the team, and as Calcio Mercato comes up with a story on the situation, they present the Tottenham player as a potential solution.
Calcio Mercato says the Englishman is a ‘concrete alternative’, especially because he hasn’t been playing for Tottenham and has a contract expiring at the end of the season.
Since Roma need a defender in January, then it sounds possible they’ll offer a fee to take him away from Spurs in the middle of the season.
