Juventus is said to be targeting Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who may be poised to leave North London in the forthcoming transfer window. The Danish player, who has experienced a reduction in playing time this season, is drawing interest from the Italian giants, as well as Napoli.
Despite playing a prominent role for Tottenham since his arrival from Southampton last year, Hojbjerg has found himself with a more limited role under manager Ange Postecoglou. This has captured the attention of Juventus and Napoli, both of whom are eager to secure his services in the January transfer market. Although Tottenham is open to the idea of a loan deal, they are advocating for an obligation to buy clause to be included in any agreement.
Massimiliano Allegri, the coach of Juventus, is believed to have identified Hojbjerg as his top choice to strengthen the team’s midfield in the approaching month, favoring him over Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips. Discussions between Juventus and Tottenham are expected to intensify in the near future as they work towards reaching an agreement.
Meanwhile, Napoli seems to have concerns about the obligation to buy clause, but this has not dampened Juventus’ enthusiasm. The club is determined to strike a deal with Tottenham, signaling a strong desire to bring Hojbjerg on board.
Hojbjerg himself is reportedly keen to embrace this new challenge in Serie A, driven by a desire for more consistent playing time ahead of the European Championship next summer.
As the transfer window approaches, it will be intriguing to observe how negotiations between the parties involved progress, and whether Juventus will succeed in their pursuit of the talented midfielder.
