Tottenham have seen an effort to sign Pisa defender Francesco Coppola turned away by the Italian side.
That’s according to La Nazione, who report that Pisa are now refusing to do a deal with Tottenham after initial discussions over the defender.
They say that Coppola will not go to Tottenham, with Pisa having now ‘closed the deal’ with the new Europa League champions.
The newspaper states that Tottenham had moved for Coppola in the last few hours as they plan for the summer and life in the Champions League next season.
However, negotiations between the two clubs did not last long, with Pisa reportedly refusing Tottenham’s advances. They are banking heavily on the player, who has enjoyed a great season with the Italian side this year.
Lens made an approach for the defender in January, offering €4m at the time. Pisa’s answer to that was no. They have now given Tottenham the same answer, although the value of their proposal has not been made clear.
It seems Pisa have no intention of selling either way, with negotiations ended quickly and Spurs told to aim their attentions elsewhere.
