Fabio Paratici’s arrival in north London back in June has seen Tottenham Hotspur look at Serie A to strengthen their squad and they have done that by signing Pierluigi Gollini and Cristian Romero from Atalanta.
Spurs continue to look at the Italian market and Nahitan Nández is one of the players reportedly on their agenda.
La Nuova Sardegna reported on Monday that Tottenham ‘seem to have abandoned’ the midfielder because the price quoted by Cagliari was ‘too high’ for them.
Although there’s no news about the Premier League side wanting the 25-year-old in the newspaper today, TuttoMercatoWeb have come up with a short update on him.
They once again repeat the Uruguay international’s desire to leave his current employer and add that Nuno Espírito Santo’s side are ‘pressing on Nández’.
It’s claimed Tottenham ‘think strongly of him’ that they are ‘working to find an agreement’ with Cagliari. TMW suggest there could be the deal to be made on the last day of the market and his future could be in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Cagliari came from behind to settle for a 2-2 draw against Spezia and Nández started in the fixture. After the tie, his manager admitted he remains hopeful the South American ends up staying at the club.
“I hope Nández can stay: he is a boy of great depth both technically and morally. It was not difficult to throw him into the fray, he has always trained with us,” Calcio Casteddu quoted Cagliari manager Leonardo Semplici as saying.
