Tottenham | Conte: four transfers, four discards and 175 million euros

Antonio Conte is a coach with clear ideas And, even before his signing for Tottenham, which is already official, he would have already slipped his first request: we need signings. The Italian is a winning coach, used to fighting for the league championships year after year, and with the Spurs Current, ninth of the Premier ten points behind Chelsea (leader), that intention seems chimerical. Hence I intend to rcarry out a huge facelift for the entity in future markets.


Dusan Vlahovic, Kessié, De Vrij y Lazzari are the names that he has put on the table while Dele Alli, Giovani Lo Celso, Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura would be the first discards. This is stated by the Gazzetta dello Sport, which also adds that they will not be simple operations, far from it. Of course, the funds will not be a problem, since, according to complements The Sun, Nuno’s successor will have 175 million euros to shape the squad. The first two are the target of countless teams, due to their contractual status, in addition to their proven quality and potential. The Serbian, whom Paratici has been chasing for a long time, is Juventus’ top priority, aiming to be the toughest opponent to fight. Rocco Commisso, president of Fiorentina, has assumed that he will not renew, but is reluctant to let his star go in January, something that makes the company even more difficult. For the operation to crystallize, the offer must be around 70 million, a good bite to the total budget.

Kessié is another particular option. With a contract until June 2022, a tremendous auction will begin in January with several large European players involved. Real Madrid and Barça, with PSG on the prowl, without going any further, have cast their eye on the midfielder Red-black. The Ivorian, at 24, has reached an optimum point of maturity and taking him at cost would be a real triumph. In this case, the winter option does seem complicated and it would be necessary to focus the shot for next summer. If he has not renewed with Milan, it is for the eight million a year he demands as salary. In Tottenham, that would not be a problem, picks up the Italian newspaper.

An option, perhaps, simpler than Kessié and Vlahovic when it comes to reinforcing the gear spur would Manuel Lazzari. The Italian is key in Maurizio Sarri’s scheme at Lazio And, by conditions, it would fit perfectly into Conte’s tactical ideology. Right inside nature, this course is performing as a winger, showing that he would be a laneer more than a solvent for the eternal 3-5-2 of the Lecce coach. It would be an important economic effort, since he has a contract until 2024, but if Conte is signed by Tottenham, they must allow him to mold a powerful squad and to his liking. For something he will have the aforementioned 175 million to return to the Spurs to the top of Europe …

One cherry and four discards

Finally, an old acquaintance: Stefan de Vrij. The Dutch central defender was key for Conte in his Inter champion and he would be delighted to be accompanied in the Premier as well, where, together with Holiday Romero, could make the defense a very powerful line. De Vrij ends contract in 2023 and the renewal does not seem to advance. What’s more, the defensive future of the neroazurri passes by Bastoni. Still, the negotiation for the 29-year-old footballer would be thorny, especially if it is January when they are required to be hired.

Talking about potential discards, we were already pointing to the quartet of ‘suspects’. Bergwijn and Lo Celso are the most likely to go out, indicates Gazette, after failing to meet the respective expectations in either case. Dele Alli has been on the sidelines for a long time and is a serious candidate to pack. While Lucas, although he has been a regular starter with Nuno, Conte’s style, which does not usually promote the wingers to give preference to deep lanes, you could see his time in London come to an end. Be that as it may, around the ring of Conte promises new verve in the attempt to regain the power that, little by little, the Spurs have been losing since, with Pochettino at the helm, they brushed the Champions League with their fingertips in 2019.

The party that could change everything

Curiously, the story could have been very different if the weekend’s Tottenham-Manchester United had ended differently. The Red Devils They clearly prevailed (0-3) and this accelerated Nuno’s dismissal. A visiting defeat could well have meant that it was Solskjaer who was dismissed and Conte appears in the middle of the equation. And it is that, according to recounts The Athletic, his favorite bench was Old Trafford. What’s more, he came to confess it to his closest friends.

Nevertheless, the faith of the Mancunian noble zone in Ole, endorsed with the solvent victory, exhausted the patience of a Conte who was already negotiating with Levy in the summer, when he was about to become a Tottenham manager. The top leader of the Spurs knew of Conte’s love for United, which is why, after the aforementioned clash, he accelerated the talks to take the jack to the water. In football, 90 minutes can change everything and this is one more example of it.
