Inter stands firm with Skriniar, Mourinho's goal

Milan Skriniar (Slovakia, February 11, 1995) has become one of the best-regarded centrals on the Old Continent (it is valued at 50 million euros per Transfermarkt) since he arrived at Inter three years ago, from Sampdoria, 34 million euros through. His conditions have caught the attention of José Mourinho, who considers that the Slovakian piece that would complete the puzzle Spur. However, Antonio Conte and, therefore, Inter, they are not willing to ditch their defensive leader just like that, so they will not accept less than 60 million euros, or 50 plus another 10 in variables, as Fabrizio Romano well reports, of Sky Sport Italia Y The Guardian.

Tottenham's intention is not to go beyond 30 or 35 million and time is short. They must decide if they go for it all and give their arm to twist, which is not usually the case for Daniel Levy, or if, on the contrary, they go for simpler and cheaper alternatives. In order to increase the offer, players like Serge Aurier and Juan Foyth should come out before, on the starting ramp of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The clock is playing against the Londoners, since the transfer window closes on October 5.

Rüdiger, the alternative; Milik, option for attack

Among the alternative options presented to Mourinho in case of not being able to convince Inter by Skriniar there's Antonio Rüdiger, as Romano well informs. The German international, behind Thiago Silva, Zouma, Christensen, and Tomori in Frank Lampard's rotation, wants to find a new home that will allow him enough minutes to participate in the next European Championship. Furthermore, Chelsea would welcome a loan for the 27-year-old defender. The negative part of the operation? They would have to fight with teams like PSG to close their contract.

While Tottenham's other open front, find a substitute for Harry Kane, has been reactivated in the last. Napoli, once City has signed Rúben Dias instead of going after Koulibaly, they intend to make money and they have put it back on the table Spur to Arkadiusz Milik. The forward would be a replacement of guarantees for the English striker, although it seems difficult for him to accept such a secondary role. After showing his excellent quality and marksmanship in the Series (48 goals in 122 games), he is facing the best years, by age (he is 26), of his career.
