At the end of last week it was suggested by sections of the Italian and Danish media that Christian Eriksen moving to Inter Milan is close to becoming a reality.
That stance has wobbled since. Sunday’s edition of Corriere della Sera reported Inter manager Antonio Conte would prefer Arturo Vidal if he has to make a choice between him and the Tottenham player this month.
Monday’s edition of Ekstra Bladet, the Danish newspaper which carried Friday’s claims of a move being close, has a transfer special today featuring Eriksen… and doesn’t even mention Inter Milan.
Over at Il Messaggero, it’s again claimed Conte’s priority is Vidal, although Eriksen is still in the picture.
A first offer has been presented to Spurs, which is said to be €10m. It’s unlikely such an amount is going to impress Daniel Levy even if the claim of the bid is correct.
Corriere dello Sport report Inter are looking at Eriksen more as a June signing than a January one, and will only move for the Tottenham player if they get a Vidal rejection.
Rather than being close to a done deal, this one is taking a step or two back.
