Two days ago, we covered claims made by FcInterNews that Tottenham Hotspur have made the ‘most convincing’ contact to date for Stefan de Vrij.
The Inter Milan man played under Antonio Conte for two seasons at the San Siro and the manager ‘would gladly’ accept the defender at his current club.
Barcelona are also in the picture for the 30-year-old, who has entered his final 18 months of contract.
InterLive.it have a report focusing on the La Liga side’s plans to sign the centre-back in the summer and before detailing that, the website mentions Conte’s side.
The Netherlands international’s performances have declined and this, coupled with Inter’s difficulty to find an agreement over a renewal, has seen them consider selling him in the summer.
When discussing suitors, the Premier League side are tagged and it’s claimed they are ‘in the very first place’ to sign De Vrij. The former Chelsea manager would like to reunite with the Dutchman, as if it were a ‘stamp of guarantee’ for Spurs’ defence.
Tottenham are not just looking at De Vrij, but also another Serie A player, Franck Kessié.
The midfielder’s contract at AC Milan expires in June and Mundo Deportivo explain he is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain.
Apart from PSG and Barcelona, the Ivory Coast international has attracted attention from Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.
