# Tottenham: Italian paper breaks big Barak transfer development

**Italian newspaper Corriere di Verona have now shared a big transfer development out of [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) involving target Antonin Barak, who they believe is the perfect fit for an Antonio Conte team.**

### The Lowdown: Conte eyes move…

As Spurs gear up for their highly-anticipated [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clash with Arsenal this evening, a make or break encounter which may well determine who is playing Champions League football, it appears transfer activity is still very much alive behind-the-scenes.

Czech Republic international Barak, for example, has been of serious interest to Spurs according to reports in recent days.

Earlier this week, outlet [Mondo Udinese.it](https://www.mondoudinese.it/udinese/news-udinese/squadra-bianconera-tottenham-affare-clamoroso/) shared news that Lilywhites head coach Conte is personally prepared to convince the attacker to join his side this summer in a ‘sensational deal’.

Now, in an update, it appears the Italian has now given his green-light for whole club to pursue a deal for Barak.

### The Latest: Italian newspaper break Barak development…

As per Corriere di Verona (via[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/conte-asked-tottenham-sign-e25m-player-tailor-made-spurs-sale-almost-certain/)), the former Chelsea coach has personally ‘asked’ Spurs to bid for the 27-year-old who is ‘tailor-made’ for his side.

This comes as Barak’s move away from the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium is ‘almost certain’ this summer, but the 6 foot 3 star’s club want around €25 million (£21m) and even hope to exceed that number.

### The Verdict: Tailor-made indeed

Barak is perhaps one of the more underrated players in Serie A and we believe £21m would be a more-than fair asking price.

Lauded as ‘[phenomenal](https://twitter.com/SachaNabet/status/1409205167967322115)‘ for his international performances by members of the press, he has stood out as one of Hellas’ most crucial players – racking up [11 goals and four assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/76/Show/Italy-Verona) from midfield over 2021/2022.

Barak also stands out as their [third-best star overall](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/76/Show/Italy-Verona) going by average match rating and is just about to enter his prime, potentially backing how he could be real value for money if Spurs were to advance with a bid.
