Tottenham are pricing Mousa Dembele out of a move to Italy.

Juventus, Napoli, AC Milan and Inter Milan have shown an interest in Dembele but Spurs want around £30million for the midfielder.

Spurs have reluctantly agreed to consider offers for the 30-year-old because he has entered the final 12 months of his contract and has made it clear he is unlikely to sign a new one.

Dembele joined Spurs from Fulham for £15m six years ago and he signed a contract extension worth £80,000-a-week in January 2016. Spurs would like to make a profit on Dembele but the Serie A quartet are refusing to meet the £30m asking price.

Spurs would prefer to sell Dembele, who is part of Belgium’s World Cup squad, to a club in China, where there is interest in the player, but he is thought to favour a move to Italy.

Pochettino has asked Daniel Levy to waste no time in concluding the club’s summer transfer business and urged the Spurs chairman not to balk at taking unpopular decisions.

Regardless of Dembele’s future, which may not be decided until after the World Cup, Spurs are targeting another central midfielder, although Harry Winks expects to be fit for the start of next season following ankle surgery.​
