On December 2nd, Calciomercato explained Tottenham Hotspur are in pole to sign Ruslan Malinovskyi and they will have to invest €18m to take him away from Atalanta.
Three days ago, French journalist Ignazio Genuardi stated the 29-year-old favours a move to the Premier League despite interest from Marseille.
On Friday, we relayed news from Italy that the Serie A side need at least €15m to part ways with the Tottenham target in January.
This is backed up by Calciomercato, who discuss the attacking midfielder’s future after he flopped for his side in their friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt yesterday.
Malinovskyi’s display showed it will be difficult for Atalanta president Antonio Percassi to get back the amount spent on him.
The Italian club wanted €18m for the player, but the report states it’s ‘easier to settle’ for €15m. Atalanta accepting this should come as a boost for Spurs.
When discussing Malinovskyi’s suitors, both Marseille and Antonio Conte’s are tagged. It’s claimed the Ukraine international is moving further away from the Ligue 1 side and ‘closer to Tottenham’.
The player’s deal expires in 2023 and the winter market will be Atalanta’s last chance to cash in from his sale.
