‘Total cost is €20m’ – Price set for potential Tottenham exit, talks between clubs ‘will remain alive’

After a lot of chatter about Tottenham talking Milan about Japhet Tanganga, details of the encounter have finally come out.

Gazzetta dello Sport are the ones providing them, explaining that Fabio Paratici called Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara on Thursday to discuss the English centre-back.

The crux of the conversation was ‘how the deal can materialise’, with both sides seemingly agreeing that the ‘total cost is €20m’.

The problem the two sides are encountering, however, are nothing new, as Milan ‘are aiming for a paid loan with the right of redemption’, while Tottenham ‘want the obligation’.

Either way, ‘the dialogue will remain alive in the next few hours’, which can often mean days, but the general consensus is that both sides want a deal done.

On a side note, it’s also added that the names of Sergio Reguilon and Pape Mata Sarr were also discussed, even if they didn’t seem to lead anywhere, as Milan are primarily focused on Charles de Ketelaere these days.

Having developed Tanganga through their academy, this would be pure profit for Spurs, who have already spent heavily on the transfer market so far this summer, with the likes of Richarlison and Djed Spence coming in for hefty fees.
