 | | Villa-Boash: Tottenham gave up from Moutinyo17.08.2012 |
Tottenham withdraws its interest in Porto midfielder João Moutinyo because the price of this player is too high, said manager Andre Villa-Boash. At Tottenham they saw the Portuguese as an option to replace Luka Modric, who is expected later this month to move to Real (Madrid). For now, however Moutinyo is not an option for "the Spurs", although he has worked with Villa-Boash.
"It is difficult to accept their expectations for price of the player, the manager told to journalists on the sports base of the team which prepares for the start of the Premier League against Newcastle. Indeed, Porto sells expensive, but as you know, their players are really good and worthwhile. For us will however be very difficult to attract the player. "
He was asked whether Tottenham will therefore be directed to Jan Mvila from the French Rennes, to which he replied: "An interesting football international. But I do not think he'll join Tottenham. Mvila is more defensive midfielder and we are looking player, playmaker if Luka Modric leave. "
