Hugo Lloris is the man in question per the Tuttosport, the French goalkeeper has reportedly been spoken to by Mourinho about the prospect of moving to Italy.
The 34-year-old is said to be part of a select group of players ‘who have maintained relations with the Portuguese despite his sacking.’
It is stated Tottenham have no desire to sell. But Lloris’ contract situation may make them pause for thought.

Napoli are also in the mix, but Emerson is tipped to become the first signing of new Inter boss Simone Inzaghi nevertheless.
