Spurs boss Antonio Conte has already made five signings ahead of the coming season
Corresponding SPORTSAntonio Conte’s side got in touch to discuss a £17m offer for the 28-year-old – which was just under Barcelona’s £20m valuation for the forward.
The first approach came for Depay during Spurs’ negotiations with French defender Clement Lenglet – who they have been on a season-long loan from the Spanish giants.
At the time, Depay was part of Barcelona coach Xavi’s plans for the first team, but the club have been active in the summer window ever since, thus changing the situation.
The confirmed signings of Lewandowski and Raphinha from Leeds this week, as well as the extension of Ousmane Dembele’s contract, mean Depay will face serious competition for a place at the top next year.

It remains unknown if Depay would agree to a move to north London – with the Netherlands international being quite happy in Spain with one year left on his current contract.
The Premier League side are looking to make Depay their sixth signing of the summer – following the arrivals of Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and the aforementioned Lenglet.
