On Saturday we covered claims from Italy that Inter Milan have been trying to play tough-guy with Daniel Levy.
Already having an agreement with Christian Eriksen on personal terms, the Serie A side thought they could push Tottenham into as low a price as possible for the player.
For a while it’s been reported in Italy that Tottenham want €20m, and that Inter have been reluctant to meet that figure. Inter didn’t want to go above €10m for a January transfer.
Their first offer was put at €8m, then €10m, then various claims around the €15-18m level.
When it comes to the figures, it would appear Levy is actually getting his way, rather than capitulating under pressure. Work is being done by Inter on a €15m base with bonuses added to get the headline figure closer to that €20m.
Given the situation, and the apparent lack of interest from elsewhere, that doesn’t seem such a bad scenario.
