Tottenham are pushing to sign Nahitan Nandez in the coming weeks.
The 25-year-old Uruguayan has emerged as a key target for Spurs director of football Fabio Paratici.
Per Calciomercato, Paratici has opened talks with Cagliari regarding Nandez.
The midfielder could reinvigorate the center of the park for new Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
But the source claims that Spurs would prefer a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.
Cagliari are said to want £17 million for the player next summer, along with a £5 million loan fee this summer.
