Inter Milan are ready to offer Tottenham Hotspur a swap deal for Tanguy Ndombele, reports claim.
Ndombele has divided opinion all season, despite Daniel Levy insisting he will not be sold this summer.
The 23-year-old, who is Tottenham’s record signing, has struggled to settle down under Jose Mourinho and their relationship has become increasingly strained.
According to Corriere dello Sport, as per @TranSPURS, Inter are prepared to try and prise Ndombele away from north London.
The Italian newspaper suggests Antonio Conte will use Marcelo Brozovic to sweeten the deal.
Relations between the two hit an all-time low last month, but Mourinho has backed Ndombele to succeed at Spurs.
Brozovic was a part of the Croatian side that reached the 2018 World Cup final, and it seems Conte considers him surplus to requirements.
Recent reports had revealed the Croat will be allowed to leave if Inter receive a suitable bid, although it appears he will be used as part of the negotiations for Ndombele.
Mourinho was linked with a move for Brozovic during his time in charge of Manchester United and the offer may be too tempting for him to ignore.
Try as he might, Ndombele has failed to find any consistency this season, although he has still attracted attention from clubs overseas, including Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
The £46m-valued ace has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, which hasn’t helped his case.

The Portuguese has attempted to defuse the rumours circulating online, but it is hard to deny the pair have a rocky relationship.
While Levy has made it clear that the Frenchman will not be up for sale in the summer, Mourinho may find the swap deal hard to resist, as he is well aware his budget has been severely slashed as a result of these uncertain times.
Tottenham fans, should Levy swap Ndombele for Brozovic this summer? Let us know down below!
