'Boom' - Italian journalist shares major transfer claim out of Tottenham

Journalist Tancredi Palmeri of Sport Italia has now shared some major transfer news out of Tottenham Hotspur.

Antonio Conte seems set for a busy summer after guiding the Lilywhites to a top-four Premier League finish and Champions League qualification, subsequently earning Spurs a £150 million equity increase via owners ENIC.

The north Londoners have also confirmed two new arrivals already with both Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster arriving on Bosman deals ahead of what will be a huge 2022/2023 campaign.

More signings are in the pipeline for Conte as club chief Fabio Paratici takes to the market, aiming to give the Tottenham manager full backing and to orchestrate major deals.

Now, as per Sport Italia reporter Palmeri, there has been a big update on Spurs’ striker plans.

As shared by the journalist on Twitter, Bayern Munich have made contact to sign star forward Harry Kane and Spurs are ‘thinking to replace him’ with Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez.

He explained:

“BOOM! Bayern have contacted Tottenham for Harry Kane! And Tottenham are thinking to replace him with Lautaro from Inter according to SportItalia!”

While we believe this move is unlikely to occur given Kane’s importance to Spurs and Conte, it could show the dramatic nature of the window and how this summer may well come up with a fair few twists and turns.

Bayern would have to offer a substantial sum to prise the 28-year-old away from Hotspur Way and it is debatable whether Martinez could fill Kane’s boosts.

The Argentine did rack up 21 goals over last campaign and has previously dazzled for Conte at Inter, yet it’s possible Spurs could sign him without letting Kane go given the Serie A side’s need to sell.
