“Tottenham have bid €35m, an offer we cannot refuse,” for Simon Kjaer and Edinson Cavani, confirmed Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini.
Spurs had already been heavily linked with the two World Cup stars for some time, but it seems the matter is heading towards a conclusion.
“Tottenham have bid €35m, an offer we cannot refuse, seeing as the two players have both said they want to leave,” Zamparini told Sky Italia television.
Danish international defender Kjaer is hot property and was also linked with Juventus, Inter, Barcelona and Manchester United.
Uruguayan striker Cavani had been close to Inter, who seem to have toned down their interest, while Manchester City made an offer.
“We will reinvest the money for these players,” assured Zamparini. “The midfield is my biggest concern, whereas in defence and attack we are fairly covered.”
