Serge Aurier remains locked in talks over a move to AC Milan – and the right-back is now keen on making the switch, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
We relayed a transfer update from the reliable Fabrizio Romano on Sunday that Spurs had started negotiations with the Italian giants, who’ve identified Aurier as their number one right-back target – with one of Davide Calabria and Andrea Conti expected to leave the San Siro this summer, according to Sky Sports‘ report.
And now Aurier, who scored twice and provided eight assists in 42 appearances for Jose Mourinho’s side last term, is reportedly keen on making the move himself, despite recently stating on Instagram that the “best remains to come” in a message to fans.
Tottenham signed Aurier from PSG three years ago for £22.5m (according to Transfermarket) – and have now slapped a £20m price tag on his shoulders, although the 18-times Serie A champions are hoping to pay less than Spurs’ asking price.
Aurier departing would leave Mourinho with no right-backs, however, Spurs are unlikely to stop the 27-year-old from leaving – in a bid to upgrade on the defender.
Aurier has been a bit of an enigma for us. An accident waiting to happen, hopeless at crossing the ball yet given to the odd superb display. I won’t be crying myself to sleep if he leaves though.
If he goes and we get a good price for him,I will start to believe that miracles do exist.
Sale of Aurier, Walker-peters and Foyth would leave only Tanganga as a make shift player ….guess Castagne will be sought from Atalanta possibly Aarons from Norwich. Would keep Foyth to be honest and buy Castagne. Think Foyth could be a real gem in the future
