The Italian giants have submitted an opening bid structured as an expensive loan fee accompanied by a mandatory purchase clause worth a total of €40m.

The Serie A side is adopting a familiar transfer strategy with this structure, mirroring the successful deal they executed to sign defender Manuel Akanji.

Spurs initially held out for a figure closer to €50m, but discussions are progressing rapidly following extended contacts between both boards.
