Club now want to sell their “special” South American to Tottenham for around £22m – journalist
Juventus are now reportedly plotting to sell another one of their players to Tottenham, amid the consistent links surrounding winger Samuel Iling-Junior.
Spurs favourites to sign Iling-Junior
Iling-Junior is the true favorite to sign with Spurs, according to sources over the past few weeks, since the Englishman doesn’t seem to be in Massimilano Allegri’s plans at Juventus.
The former Chelsea youth standout, who has played just 114 Serie A minutes this season and has made zero starts, is certain to go in January. As the winter transfer window draws near, a number of sources have confirmed that Tottenham is leading the chase for Iling-Junior, whose future in Turin appears distant. According to Nizaar Kinsella of the dependable Evening Standard, who wrote on X, Ange Postecoglou’s team is “leading the race” to sign him.
This comes as the likes of Sky Sports report that Spurs are very keen to sign a left-winger in January, with Iling-Junior coming as a genuine transfer target alongside former Celtic star Jota.
Juventus “would like to sell” Soule to Tottenham
There is a rich history of transfer business between Juve and Spurs. Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and winger Dejan Kulusevski joined the Lilywhites on January deadline day in 2022, with both going on to be huge successes in parts.
Now, according to some information from journalist Fabio Santini, who spoke to TV Play this week (via Sport Witness), Juventus “would like to sell” Matias Soule to Spurs.
Six goals and an assist have been scored by the Argentine during his highly effective loan stay at Serie A’s Frosinone in 13 league outings.
Santini continues, “Juve is looking for a fee of about £22 million, and Palace is probably going to make an offer.”
“Juventus is putting a lot of effort into two key midfield positions. With a €40 million bid in June, they had already gotten dangerously close to Koopmeiners, and with the sales of Yildiz and Iling-Junior, the price may rise to €45 million in January. They would prefer to transfer Soulé to Crystal Palace or Tottenham for €20–25 million, and they have never given up on Berardi,” Santini stated.
