Tottenham and Atalanta stopped negotiations on a potential transfer of midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Ruslan Malinovsky, which was estimated at 16-18 million euros. It is reported by Il Giorno.
According to the source, the agreement is most likely no longer possible. This was influenced by the start of an investigation by the prosecutor's office of Turin into the market operations of Juventus and the activities of the current Spurs sports director Fabio Paratici, who then worked in the structure of the Italian club.
It is noted that this situation had a negative impact on the difficult negotiations on the transfer of Malinovsky. In the summer, there was an agreement in principle between the clubs, but since then it has not been possible to agree on all the details.
Now the scenario is quite likely, according to which the 29-year-old Ukrainian will remain at Atalanta until the end of the season.
