Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of securing the signature of Albert Gudmundsson have suffered a setback, with reports indicating that the Genoa star has opted to join Inter Milan instead.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Spurs are set to concede defeat in their pursuit of the Icelandic midfielder, who has agreed to a move to the San Siro this summer. Despite previous indications suggesting Tottenham’s financial advantage over Inter, Gudmundsson’s preference to stay in Italy has tipped the scales in favor of the Nerazzurri.
Inter’s pursuit of the 26-year-old has been ongoing for several weeks, with discussions held with both Genoa and the player’s representatives. The Serie A giants are reportedly on the verge of finalizing a £26 million deal for Gudmundsson, who has given his approval for the transfer.
The allure of joining Inter, under the guidance of manager Simone Inzaghi and amid their title-challenging campaign in Serie A, appears to have swayed Gudmundsson’s decision. Spurs, despite their efforts and financial backing, now face the disappointment of missing out on the versatile midfielder.
As Gudmundsson’s preference for Italy becomes evident, Inter’s successful pursuit highlights the challenges Tottenham may encounter in their future transfer endeavors. With the Serie A champions-elect securing yet another promising talent, Spurs may need to reassess their recruitment strategy moving forward.
