Earlier on Monday, France Football claimed that Tottenham had ‘entered into discussion’ regarding a potential deal taking Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia to London.
We covered that here, but it appears, at least from the player’s end, that this was all made up fiction.
This is what RadioEsport journalist Domino Ortiz is claiming on his Twitter on Monday afternoon, stating that after having had a chat with the Frenchman’s entourage, it was confirmed no talks with Spurs had taken place.
Signing permanently with Valencia this summer after a successful loan from Inter, the midfielder is said to ‘only wants to play’ for the La Liga side, having turned down offers from the Premier League to sign there in the first place.
Nothing has changed in his head since then, meaning that even if Tottenham did want him, he wouldn’t go there, at least not this summer.
The 25-year-old signed a four year contract back in May, keeping him at the club until 2022, with a release clause of €80m inserted in the deal.
