Dembele rejects Inter approach

Mousa Dembele has rejected a €20 million move to Inter Milan this month. The midfielder has entered the final 12 months of his contract at Tottenham Hotspur and fell down the pecking order during the second half of last season.

Inter had targetted Dembele as a potential pairing with countryman Radja Nainggolan. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri haven't given up in their pursuit of Luka Modric despite the mammoth price tag and could make a move for the Croatian again during the closing stages of the transfer window.

Pjanic to Modric, as it's being reported in Italy, could have a domino effect. The Bosnian moving to the European champs would allow Modric to join Inter, while Milinkovic-Savic could swap Rome for Turin.
