Sporting CP playmaker Bruno Fernandes has flirted with the idea of joining Inter Milan this summer amid strong Premier League interest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester City were believed<\/a> to have been close on a deal to sign the Leoes ace last month, but reports<\/a> in Portugal suggest Tottenham Hotspur are now front runners for his signature while Manchester United are also reportedly<\/a> interested in the midfielder.<\/p>\n

Could Fernandes join Inter? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Fernandes was instrumental in 2018\/19 as Sporting finished third in the\u00a0Primeira Liga.<\/li>\n
  • The 24-year-old captain scored 32 goals and registered 18 assists in all competitions.<\/li>\n
  • As such, he is highly sought-after across the continent with a number of PL clubs eyeing his services.<\/li>\n
  • Sporting teammate Stefan Ristovski has already begged his skipper to remain in Lisbon<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  • But it is believed Fernandes will part company this summer and Inter Milan have now emerged as a possible destination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    However, the\u00a0Maia-born midfielder has now cast doubt on a move to English soil after admitting links to the\u00a0Nerazzurri are “important” to him, while also citing a pleasant experience in Serie A during his time with\u00a0Novara,\u00a0Udinese and\u00a0Sampdoria as a possible indication of his summer intentions.<\/p>\n

    Antonio Conte joined the San Siro club after\u00a0Luciano Spalletti was relieved of his duties last month, and Fernandes was quick to namedrop the former Chelsea boss in his latest comments.<\/p>\n

    Speaking to Sport Mediaset<\/a>, he said: “I was very happy in Italy and still watch Serie A games regularly.<\/p>\n

    “I do not have the slightest idea if it\u2019s true that Inter are interested in me. They have a great Coach now in Antonio Conte who did so well at Juventus and with Italy. Of course, seeing my name associated with Inter is important.”<\/p>\n
