£60m Spurs target Paratici loves told to make career-defining decision

Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez has a decision to make this summer as he continues to be linked with a move to Tottenham, says transfer insider Dean Jones.

The 24-year-old reportedly came close to joining the north London club last August, and Jones is waiting to see if they can finally get the job done in the next window.

The reliable Gianluca Di Marzio recently told Wettfreunde that Tottenham could go after Martinez this summer.

This comes after The Times claimed last August that Spurs had agreed a £60m deal with Inter to bring the Argentine to England.

For whatever reason, though, a move did not materialise, but that does not look to be the end of the story.

According to Di Marzio, Tottenham director of football Fabio Paratici “loves” the player, so it would not be a surprise to see the English outfit try again.

Martinez, of course, also played under Antonio Conte when the Italian was at Inter. That relationship may be something the Spurs boss wants to rekindle.

Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that Martinez has a big decision to make this summer having come close to moving to the Premier League before.

Speaking about the Inter star potentially joining Conte’s side when the transfer window reopens, the football journalist said: “He’s really got to make a decision on whether he wants to make this jump to the Premier League because it has been talked about for a while now.

“It’s come reasonably close a couple of times, but ultimately, he stayed where he is, so let’s see whether they can talk him around this time.”

If they do not qualify for the Champions League, it is going to be difficult. Martinez has been playing in Europe’s elite competition
