The Internacional striker has been linked with Tottenham for over a year now, with the North London club hopeful of using their cooperation partnership with the Rio Grande do Sul club to secure the striker’s capture.
The problem for Spurs is that they are yet to meet the club’s valuation, whereas the reports believe that Manchester United are preparing to blow away the competition with a £24 million bid.
Damião was the top-scoring striker in Brazil in 2011, scoring 38 goals for club side Inter. The target-man also made his debut for the Seleção, notching up 4 caps to date to become a feature of Mano Menezes’ squads.
