European giant ‘intensify’ interest in Tottenham star which could help Man Utd land top target

After 11 seasons with the club, Lloris looks more than likely to depart this summer with Inter said to be among the clubs interested.
The 26-year-old joined the club from Empoli for a fee in the region of £16m and fees up Lloris to look for a new club.
According to Foot Mercato, Inter have ‘intensified their talks with Lloris’ as they hope to conclude a deal as soon as possible.

“I took incredible pride every time I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers.
“It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together.
“Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.”
Fabrizio Romano has outlined the latest developments with the Onana deal as Erik ten Hag will be keen on getting him in as soon as possible.
