Report: Inter Milan considering offer for 23-year-old in connection with Spurs
Sky Sports has revealed that Inter Milan are considering a move for Celtic star Matt O’Reilly, who is rumored to be attracting the attention of Tottenham.
O’Reilly has made remarkable progress since arriving at Celtic Park two years ago, and it was Ange Postecoglou who brought him from MK Dons to Glasgow Giants.
The versatile midfielder, who can play as both a number six and a number eight, had an excellent season with nine goals and eight assists in all competitions, earning him his first cap for Denmark last month.
Tottenham’s interest in the 23-year-old began almost two months ago after TEAMtalk revealed the north London club were one of several Premier League clubs monitoring the player’s development.
It became clear.
Inter Milan could pounce on Matt O’Reilly Sky now claim Inter have beat other suitors to make an initial loan offer for O’Reilly, with a promise to make him a permanent deal .
Celtic will demand a club-record fee for the midfielder, exceeding the £25 million they received for Jota in the summer, according to reports.
The magazine mentions Aston Villa, West Ham, PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid as fans of O’Reilly, but does not mention Spurs.
Postecoglou knows O’Reilly well from his time at Celtic, but the Australian manager has given no indication of any intention of bringing the former player to Spurs and is likely to join Spurs, who lead the Scottish top flight and Premier League.
They probably recognize that there is a big difference in quality between them.
