Tottenham Boss Jose Mourinho Willing To Sacrifice Lucas Moura To Land Top Transfer Target

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is keen to bring in another striker to ease the pressure on Harry Kane.

Tottenham will have to get creative in the transfer window in order to sign their top targets and Jose Mourinho is reportedly prepared to include Lucas Moura in a swap deal in order to sign Arkadiusz Milik. Napoli have failed to agree terms with Milik on a new contract with his current deal expiring in 2021.

Reports have suggested that Milik is not willing to sign, forcing Napoli to listen to offers for the Poland international.

He isn’t short of interest though with a number of clubs around Europe being linked with a move for Milik.

Tottenham are said to be one of them, with Mourinho a long-term admirer.

The Spurs boss though will have a limited transfer budget heading into the summer transfer window due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.

It has been suggested that Mourinho will have to cope with going after loan deals or free agents.

But Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport suggests Mourinho has a third avenue in the transfer market.

The report points out Tottenham’s interest in Milik, but Napoli are demanding £45million for their striker.

That would prove too costly for Tottenham up front in the current climate, but Mourinho is reportedly prepared to offer Moura as a makeweight in any deal.
