Club ‘will make last desperate attempt’ to sign Tottenham player – Conte has ‘repeatedly reiterated’ he wants to keep him

Pape Matar Sarr arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2021 and didn’t make a single appearance until the end of last month.

The Senegal international’s failure to enjoy minutes in 2022 saw Salernitana show interest to take him on a loan deal and this has been confirmed by their sporting director, Morgan De Sanctis.

Earlier on Wednesday, we relayed news from Italy the Serie A side’s still dream of signing the midfielder in the winter market and will try to convince Tottenham to sanction his loan move.

Salernitana’s desire to sign the 20-year-old took a hit when he made his debut for Spurs in their league defeat to Aston Villa.

Since then, he has made two appearances, which includes a start in the north London club’s FA Cup win over Portsmouth.

Corriere dello Sport now explain Antonio Conte has ‘repeatedly reiterated’ his desire to keep Pape Matar Sarr at the club.

Despite the manager’s desire, Salernitana will ‘make a last desperate attempt’ to sign the player in the current window.

The Italian club are now waiting for a response from Tottenham.
