Image:Leandro Damiao: Set to stay at Internacional this summer
Tottenham target Leandro Damiao will not be heading to White Hart Lane this summer, according to Internacional's vice-president.
Their offer did not match our valuation, says Internacional chief
Tottenham target Leandro Damiao will not be heading to White Hart Lane this summer, according to Internacional's vice-president.
The Brazil striker has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs and the sale of Luka Modric is likely to spark significant transfer spending by the London club.
But the 23-year-old is unlikely to be among the incoming players after Internacional vice-president Luciano Davi revealed that the Brazilian club have decided to keep the forward for now.
"Our intention is that Leandro Damiao doesn't leave this year," Davi told Globo Esporte.
"He is an Internacional player until December. Their offer wasn't relevant and we are not interested in selling him.
"Tottenham came to us but their offer didn't match our valuation of him. Leandro Damiao is a national team striker and we have to value that."
Davi had previously denied that Spurs had bid for the player, while Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas recently claimed he would not be signing another striker.
