Paulo Roberto Falcao is fearing the worst as Harry Redknapp’s side could make a bid for the 21-year-old this summer.
He is quoted as saying by Sky Sports: “His departure is inevitable. But we hope to keep him for as much time as possible.”
Tottenham’s Brazilian midfielder Sandro, who left Internacional for White Hart Lane last year, has been asked for his input on the highly rated youngster, who has already been capped by the senior national side.
Sandro is reported as saying: “The directors always talk to me about Brazilian players. They asked me about Leandro Damiao and I told them he’s a fantastic guy of high quality.”
Leandro has attracted the interest of Arsenal, Manchester United and European champions, Barcelona, in recent months but Sandro would like Spurs to table a bid.
“Hopefully we will knock on the door of Inter very soon,” he added.
