# Tottenham: Antonio Conte ‘attempts’ Giorgio Scalvini and Alessandro Bastoni double signing

**[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) boss Antonio Conte is personally attempting a double move for Atalanta rising star Giorgio Scalvini and Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eye Italian duo…

Spurs have had their eye on both players according to[recent reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/tottenham-alessandro-bastoni-transfer-news/) as links between the north Londoners and Italy’s most promising talents show no sign of stopping.

Bastoni has been[targeted](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/05/23/exclusive-tottenham-hotspur-offer-antonio-conte-six-summer-signings/) by sporting director Fabio Paratici and Conte for quite some time, while Scalvini has [emerged](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/tottenham-giorgio-scalvini-transfer-rumours/) as a more fresh transfer possibility in recent months.

This comes as the north Londoners chase a second-consecutive [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) finish in the top four, not to mention the Champions League riches that go with it.

### The Latest: Conte ‘attempts’ double move…

According to Italian sources, Conte will require significant financial backing from club owners ENIC and chairman Daniel Levy ahead of January.

Indeed, a report from [InterLive](https://www.interlive.it/2022/12/20/calciomercato-inter-conte-tottenham-scalvini-atalanta-bastoni-perisic/) now claims that Tottenham’s manager personally ‘attempts to attack’ the double signing of Bastoni and Scalvini – who could cost a combined marquee fee of £84 million.

It’s added that Conte will ask for both defenders if he continues to sit in the Spurs dugout and signs a contract extension.

### The Verdict: Ambitious…

It will be a very difficult move to pull off and one that is perhaps a bit too far out of Paratici’s reach, but if we were to choose one of the two players to go for, it would be Bastoni.

The 23-year-old is one of Serie A’s rising stars and has already been called a ‘[defensive genius](https://www.givemesport.com/1826256-tottenham-transfer-news-conte-eyes-reunion-with-so-intelligent-54m-defensive-genius)‘ for his work under Simone Inzaghi at the San Siro.

Indeed, the [£107,000-per-week](https://sportsbrief.com/facts/net-worth/19119-alessandro-bastoni-net-worth-salary-contract-house-cars-age-stats-latest-news/) Bastoni would be a welcome addition at N17 – if they can get it done – and perhaps the perfect upgrade on the [exit-linked Davinson Sanchez](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-davinson-sanchez-exit-latest-transfer-rumours/).
