The player in question is Lionel Messi, but there maybe competition from Inter Milan.
Inter Milan supremo Massimo Moratti admitted his admiration for the Argentinian during the last transfer window: “Everyone is now talking about how I am supposedly crazy about signing Messi.
“The reality is that I spoke well of him two years ago when he made his debut for the Argentine Under-21 side.
“We haven’t had the slightest of contact with him since then.
“It is true that I admire him and I think he is a great player, but we do not have the need for him at this moment.”
Spurs intend to finance the £70m deal over 5 year, with £20m payable upfront followed by four yearly instalments of £10m, plus £10m based on appearances..
