Either everyone involved in Christian Eriksen’s future changes their mind with the wind, or those claiming to have the latest information on a daily basis are wrong.
Today’s slant from Gazzetta dello Sport states Inter Milan’s chance to sign the Tottenham player in January has ‘opened’.
This week the main Italian slant has been that Antonio Conte would rather sign Arturo Vidal this month, and Eriksen is therefore being kept as a free transfer option for the summer. Club director Giuseppe Marotta even insinuated that himself when questioned on Monday.
Gazzetta say an ‘auction is being born’ ahead of the summer, however, Inter ‘are also working on an immediate solution’. Tottenham are said to want €20m for a switch in the winter market, and that’s a possibility the Serie A side are considering.
Gazzetta say such a scenario can’t leave Conte ‘indifferent’. But as other clubs have found out previously, there’s no point getting the manager players he doesn’t really want whilst not succeeding on his genuine requests.
Everything can, of course, change again tomorrow, and it’s worth remembering Marotta said there’d not been any contact with Tottenham.
