Interesting that there is no indication of how they have come to that conclusion and how the players club and his agent have said differently.
Damiao is without a doubt a great talent. With the possibility of purchasing Willian now likely, it could be more important to sign a Brazilian striker to line up with potentially Willian as well as Sandro. That Brazilian back bone would strike certain fear into opposition.
The issue of ownership and the price has not disappeared and I warn all fans not to get their hopes up on this one. While there may be talks and Inter have confirmed that bids have been made by an English club, we are still miles apart on the value and how to structure the buy.
The deal has been on the cards for over 2 years now and still Tottenham are no closer to signing him than when they first showed their interest.
I have heard reports that a deal for Damiao is not happening in January and slim for the summer.
Not knowing the Brazilian league well enough I can only go on the common sense that Inter want over £20mill and with 4+ owners there are too many factors for even Levy to sort through. Set your sights on the likes of Negredo Spur's fan it is more likely that we'll see joy there.
