It is now all about going after Mousa Dembele for Inter with other midfield target William Carvalho looking set for a transfer to Real Betis according to a report from Tuttosport.
Betis are to re-invest the €30 million raised from the sale of Fabian Ruiz to Napoli in to the €20 million signing of the Portuguese, who was regarded at Inter’s first alternative to Dembele.
Inter’s move for Dembele is however on standby until after his participation at the World Cup is over and it is also linked to no offer arriving from China. Spurs are now looking for €25 million as per the report for the Belgian international, down €5 million from the €30 million they have demanded in recent weeks, and have already set their sights on signing Sevilla midfielder Steven N’Zonzi to replace the 30-year-old, whose future looks to be far away from the north London club, where he has spent the past six years.
