Inter Milan fail in Mousa Dembele bid as Tottenham midfield star eyes new club
Belgium World Cup star will be out of contract at White Hart Lane next year and has snubbed new deal offers already
INTER MILAN have failed in a bid to poach Tottenham star Mousa Dembele.
The Belgium World Cup star will be out of contract at White Hart Lane next year.
Inter have been on the 31-year-old’s trail for several weeks, hoping to unite him with national teammate Radja Nainggolan.
Club officials recently presented an offer to Dembele‘s advisors.
However the midfielder turned it down as he seeks the final big-club move of his career.
Chinese club Beijing Guoan offered him a megabucks contract earlier this summer, but the former Fulham ace decided it is too soon for him to move to the Far East.
Dembele played four times at the World Cup finals, including in both Belgium’s wins over England, to help the Red Devils finish a best-ever third.
The Antwerp-born midfielder made 35 Tottenham appearances last season.
A £15million buy from Fulham in 2012, he has since played 232 Spurs games – scoring ten goals.
He previously played for Belgian side Germinal Beerschot and Dutch sides Willem II and AZ Alkmaar.
