Tottenham to learn £17m Mateo Musacchio fate by end of week
VILLARREAL boss Marcelino Garcia Toral expects to find out if defender Mateo Musacchio will stay or leave by the end of the week.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly keen to sign fellow Argentine Musacchio this summer.
Reports in Spain suggest a fee of £17m would be enough for the La Liga outfit to sell the 23-year-old centre-back.
Garcia Toral admits Musacchio's future is likely to be resolved in the next few days, but cannot say for certain whether he will remain at Villarreal.
We expect a definitive solution for this week
However, the Spanish tactician is quietly confident that the former River Plate man will stay.
He said: “We expect a definitive solution for this week.
“I believe that Musacchio will stay with us but I cannot confirm this 100 per cent."
