Tottenham have reportedly approached Piero Ausilio as they attempt to bring the departing Inter Milan sporting director to North London.

Ausilio is preparing to leave Inter after an extraordinary 28 years with the Italian club, and Spurs have emerged as one of the options he is considering for the next stage of his career.

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, Ausilio has received several proposals, “including Tottenham’s”, with his departure from Inter now considered inevitable.

Tottenham make move for Ausilio

There are currently no details regarding the terms or precise role Tottenham have offered Ausilio.

However, their approach appears concrete enough to be under consideration, with Pedullà reporting that the experienced director is currently evaluating two proposals.

Marco Conterio has also reported that Ausilio's Inter departure could be finalised within hours.

Inter are already preparing for the transition, with club president Giuseppe Marotta reportedly choosing Dario Baccin to replace Ausilio.

The decision to leave has come from Ausilio himself rather than being driven by his contract situation or Inter looking to replace him.

After almost three decades in Milan, he has received approaches from elsewhere and appears ready to pursue a new challenge.

De Zerbi relationship could help Spurs

Tottenham may have an important advantage in Roberto De Zerbi.

The Spurs manager already has a good relationship with Ausilio, with both Pedullà and Conterio highlighting their connection.

That relationship had previously been relevant when De Zerbi was considered for the Inter managerial position. Tottenham will now hope it can work in the opposite direction as they attempt to persuade Ausilio to move to the Premier League.

Leaving Inter after 28 years would represent an enormous professional change for Ausilio, particularly if he decides to work outside Italy.

Tottenham, however, can offer him a fresh project alongside a manager he already knows well.

Key Points

  • Tottenham have approached Piero Ausilio about joining the club.
  • Ausilio is considering two proposals as he prepares to leave Inter Milan.
  • His departure will end a remarkable 28-year association with Inter.
  • Dario Baccin is reportedly set to replace him at the Serie A club.
  • Ausilio's existing relationship with Roberto De Zerbi could strengthen Tottenham's position.

What’s Next?

Ausilio is expected to make a decision on his future soon, with his Inter departure potentially being completed within hours.

Tottenham will now wait to discover whether their proposal is enough to convince him to begin a new chapter in England alongside De Zerbi.
