Finally, Antonio Conte got his hands on the club’s coffers and paid for reinforcements, and after the first player for whom compensation was paid, an agreement is being found for the second.Conte is building a team with the idea of being a permanent participant in the Champions League and wants stability in defense, which is why he is now focusing on the back line of the team where a purge could take place, especially in two central positions where there are too many players and too little real quality. The first idea was Alessandro Bastoni, with whom the Italian worked at Inter Milan, but as the Serie A runner-up does not intend to negotiate his departure amid speculation that Milan Skriniar will go to PSG, Spurs’ focused elsewhere.Mon 00:00: (4.30) Union Santa Fe (3.50) River Plate (1.91)There are growing rumours on the island and in Germany about Tottenham’s interest in Bayer Leverkusen sweeper Piero Hincapie. The Ecuadorian had quite a satisfactory first season in Europe, which is why he automatically started catching the eyes of scouts of richer clubs. During 35 games for Bayer, Hincapie stood out as one of the most important players not only in defense, but also in the whole team, which led to the Pharmacists qualifying for the Champions League, just like the London Spurs.Very good when it comes to aerial duels, and above all he knows how to take the ball forward, and in general Hincapie has all the necessary qualities for a defender who aspires to become world-class. Hincapie not only played well in Germany but also for the national team where he helped them to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.🚨Tottenham Hotspur are among a host of clubs showing an interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen centre back Piero Hincapié ahead of the summer window.🇩🇪The German club are demanding a fee in the region of £25M for the player.🗞[@DiarioOle]#THFC | #COYSpic.twitter.com/qhV8YKkjpU— Last Word On Spurs (@LastWordOnSpurs) May 20, 2022 That is exactly why Bayer are setting a high price for their 20-year-old, and the tag says – 40 million euros! It is now up to Tottenham to try to reduce that price through negotiations, although Bayer do not intend to lower it too much. Mostly because the return to the elite club competition gave the club from the Bay Arena certain financial stability.In addition to Hincapie, Tottenham are even considering the sensational return of Christian Eriksen. During the half-season in Brentford, the Dane showed that he can play top football despite the built-in pacemaker, and now he is a free agent since his six-month contract expired and he is looking for a new environment.A reminder, Tottenham have so far hired goalkeeper Fraser Forster, then Ivan Perišić, and Yves Bissouma, who was paid 29 million euros.
