Both Inter and Tottenham Hotspur are keen to iron out a deal regarding Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The report details how the North London club have offered €35 million for the 25-year-old Nerazzurri defender, and could raise their offer to €40 million for the player on Monday.

Inter still want around €50 million for Skriniar, and so add-ons may come into play in order to close the distance between the two parties.

Inter would then look to sign a new defender, the report continues, with the potential options being Chris Smalling, Nikola Milenković and Schalke’s Ozan Muhammed Kabak.

Nerazzurri coach Antonio Conte is still dreaming of signing Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante, but the Milanese club are more skeptical that a deal for the Frenchman is possible, with another top player like Marcelo Brozovic or Christian Eriksen having to leave beforehand.
