Report: ‘Dazzling’ Tottenham target could be available at ‘discount’ price soon, Serie A club eyeing move

Add as preferred source on Google

Atalanta playmaker Ruslan Malinovskyi was reportedly desperate to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer and CalcioMercato reports that he could be available at a ‘discount’ in January.

Spurs were linked with a move for the ‘dazzling’ Malinovskyi towards the end of the summer window and reports suggested that he dreams of playing for the North London club.

But a move for the 29-year-old didn’t materialise and Antonio Conte kept hold of Bryan Gil.

And now it seems that Conte’s old side Inter Milan could enter the race for the playmaker.

Malinovskyi could be available at ‘discount’ price

CalcioMercato reports that Inter are willing to allow Hakan Calhanoglu to leave the club.

And in the event that he does, Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta could set his sights on Malinovskyi.

The Ukraine international could be available at a ‘discounted’ price due his contract expiring next year.

And Inter could even move for the player once he becomes a free agent.

Reports have suggested that Spurs could yet move to sign Malinovskyi in January.

Conte recently said he blocked Gil’s loan move to Valencia due to not being able to secure a replacement for the Spaniard.

But Malinovskyi could become available at a much cheaper price in the January window due to his contract situation.

Conte’s side have got off to a decent start this season but they are still lacking a creative player like Malinovskyi.

Spurs enjoyed a brilliant summer window in terms of bolstering Conte’s squad. But they are still slightly short in a couple of positions.

Conte will be hoping the club continue to back him in the next transfer window as he looks to compete on all fronts this season.
