Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Leandro Parades, however, Spurs will face competition from Inter Milan for the 27-year-old. Antonio Conte will be keen to strengthen his squad further after signing Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski in the January transfer window.

Conte was also rumoured to be interested in signing the Argentina international in 2016 when he was Chelsea manager. Paredes has been a peripheral figure for PSG during his time in the French capital, making 113 appearances in his four seasons at the Parc des Princes.
The former Zenit St Petersburg star has struggled with a number of injury issues throughout his career and has only made 15 starts for the Ligue 1 leaders this term. Paredes’ contract expires next summer, meaning that PSG may be tempted to sell him in the forthcoming transfer window rather than risk losing him for free.
It’s believed that the French giants will want around £21million for his services. However, Inter Milan are also interested and could reportedly purchase the Argentine midfielder at a discounted price because the CEO’s of both clubs enjoy a good relationship.
Meaning Paredes could join the Serie A side for just £16.5m. Neither club as yet have made a formal approach to PSG for Paredes, but it could be a difficult deal for the Spurs hierarchy to get over the line due to the interest from Inter.
