Juventus are reportedly interested in Tottenham Hotspur centre-forward Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg when the transfer window reopens in the summer.
The 28-year-old has been relegated at the north London club and has been strongly linked with a move away for some time.
Hojbjerg has yet to cement his place in Postecoglou’s Premier League squad this season. Ange Postecoglou seems to prefer Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr in his place.
However, all indications are that Postecoglou would be happy to part ways with the Danish international in the winter.
As previously reported by TEAMtalk, Atletico Madrid wanted to sign Hojbjerg in the summer window, but in the end could not reach an agreement with Tottenham.
Now it seems that Juventus, who have also been eyeing Hojbjerg for some time, are ready to make a move for him soon.
According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus “have identified Hojbjerg as one of their main targets”.
The Italians were hit by the news a few days ago that Paul Pogba will reportedly be suspended for FOUR YEARS for doping.
The longest possible suspension in such cases is four years – initially a two-year ban, which can be doubled if it is proven that the substance was taken deliberately. As a consequence, Pogba could have his contract with Juventus terminated.
This will reportedly lead Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri to sign a midfield reinforcement, such as Hojbjerg, in the summer.
Fulham offered £25 million for Hojbjerg at the end of the summer window. However, Hojbjerg refused to move to Craven Cottage because he wants to play European football.
Now it seems that the central midfielder could get that chance with Juventus. However, it is likely that the Serie A club will have to offer the £25 million that Fulham are offering for his signature.
Given this, it will be interesting to see whether they will indeed make a concrete offer for the Tottenham man in the summer, as reports suggest.
