Conte personally wants to sign a ‘top-class’ player for Spurs; Paratici may make a £60 million bid

Conte had Barella in his squad during his time as Inter manager, and the midfielder ended up making 87 appearances for him. The Italy international scored seven goals and provided 21 assists in those games.

With the Spurs manager’s track record of signing Italian players, it appears that he has turned his attention to a possible reunion with Barella in 2023.

According to a recent report from Interleave.it, Conte is likely to turn his attention to signing Barella with a potential move for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic seemingly unlikely for Spurs as he is looking to join Juventus in the summer.

The report also adds that Fabio Paratici could offer the €70m (£60m) that Inter will apparently want for the player, with the promise of €8m-per-year (£6.8m) for the next five seasons.

THE VERDICT: A GREAT SIGNING FOR THE SPURS

With 15 Serie A games under his belt this season, Barella, who journalist Mike Piellucci lauded as a “genius”, has played more minutes than any other Inter player, which highlights how important he is for the club.

Across those games, the 25-year-old has scored five goals, delivered five assists, and racked up more progressive passes (67) than any other player at Inter.

Bearing in mind how only three clubs in the Premier League have made more progressive passes than Spurs (456), it’s easy to see why Conte would want to bring Barella, who has been described as a “top-class” player by Jurgen Klopp, to his side.

Taking all of this into account, it’s safe to say that the £152k-per-week midfield maestro could be a great signing for Spurs and for Conte.
