Tottenham are in a very extensive talks with Atletico Madrid over Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg sale
According to sources that spoke with 90min, Tottenham Hotspur is attempting to complete the transfer of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to Atletico Madrid.
The international player from Denmark is entering his fourth season at Spurs, but he might yet switch teams before the summer transfer window closes.
Tottenham would explore offers for Hojbjerg, and Atletico Madrid is in negotiations over a trade, according to the 90min story from back in June.
The Los Rojiblancos are seeking to bolster their midfield with another aggressive player. Hojbjerg and Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina have been mentioned as candidates, though 90min knows that Manchester United is heavily interested in the latter and will step up their efforts to recruit him after they have paid off their salary bill.
Hojbjerg is consequently anticipated to become Atletico Madrid’s top target, albeit they are hesitant to spend more than £30 million on him.
The midfielder, who turns 28 later this week, was valued at £40 million when Spurs opened the summer transfer market. However, if there aren’t many other potential buyers, they might drop their asking price while still maintaining their position that they won’t obstruct an exit.
Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid, responded to a question about the team’s interest in Hojbjerg by saying: “There are names the club is working on to solve the condition of urgency and obligation. We’ll determine as a team whether we need a new midfielder.
Hojbjerg has played in the team’s second unit during Tottenham’s two preseason games so far under new head coach Ange Postecoglou, with Yves Bissouma favoured as a holding midfielder and Oliver Skipp, James Maddison, and Pape Sarr starting ahead of him in a more forward role.
Hojbjerg joined Tottenham from Southampton during the summer of 2020 for an initial £15m fee. He has played 145 games in his three seasons at the club. VIEW MORE:
Tosin Adarabioyo will soon be a Tottenham player.
Tosin Adarabioyo, a Fulham center back who is 25 years old, is wanted by Tottenham Hotspur.
Tosin Adarabioyo is desired by Tottenham Hotspur, according to a report from football.london. They have been keeping an eye on the 25-year-old defender and are finally anticipated to make a play for him this week.
Spurs’ top aim entering the transfer window was to add a new defender after their defensive struggles in the previous campaign. They sought to give their new manager Ange Postecoglou more choices to work within the defense’s center as a result. However, Tottenham has not yet been successful in acquiring a center-back.
Spurs have been in talks to sign several defenders throughout the summer. But they have not managed to strike a deal with anyone. With all moves falling out, Tottenham have finally decided to place a bid for the services of the 25-year-old Fulham defender.
Adarabioyo has entered the final year of his contract at Fulham, and he is open to the idea of joining Spurs. While the Cottagers would love to have him in their ranks, they are likely to let him leave for the right fee rather than risk losing out on him for free next summer.
The former Manchester City youth product has enough experience of playing in the Premier League and it won’t be a problem for him to settle at Tottenham. The 6ft 5in former England Under-19 star is great with the ball at his feet, has a great physical presence, is exceptional in the air and can help Spurs play out from the back. In short, a perfect fit in the Australian manager’s system.
Last season, he was involved in a total of 29 matches and racked up close to 2,500 minutes. The 25-year-old defender is currently valued at a low price, and with his contract expiring in less than a year, Tottenham will look to strike a bargain deal for his services.
With less than two weeks left for the new season, Spurs are all set to put forward an official bid this week, and it will be interesting to see how things move on from here. Meanwhile, the Cottagers have already prepared for life without the 25-year-old, having signed Calvin Bassey from Ajax for £19.3 million last week.
