With Harry Kane seemingly still trying to wriggle his way into a transfer to Manchester City, Tottenham need to be careful and plan for multiple scenarios.
Should they end up selling their striker to the Premier League champions, they will need to replace him, which is where the idea of their reported €85m + €10m offer for Lautaro Martinez appears to have stemmed from.
Another player Fabio Paratici really likes and has wanted to sign for a while, dating back to his time at Juventus, is Dusan Vlahovic.
The Serbian has yet to renew at Fiorentina, although talks are heading in the right direction, but Tottenham’s interest hasn’t gone unnoticed.
That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who explain that Darko Ristic, the player’s agent, ‘had an exchange of “ideas”’ with Tottenham, although Spurs never contacted Fiorentina directly.
In fact, the Serie A side ‘never received official economic offers’ from the Premier League side, who now appear to have turned their attention to Martinez for the time being.
