Spurs make loan plus obligation to buy offer for 21-year-old Juventus star – report
Tottenham have moved on quickly from the disappointment of missing out on Luis Diaz, switching their attentions to Dejan Kulusevski, according to The Athletic.
On Friday morning we relayed word from David Ornstein claiming Liverpool have hijacked Spurs’ move for Porto’s Diaz, who is expected to finalise a move to Anfield imminently.
Now, Ornstein is reporting for The Athletic that Tottenham have approached Juventus for Kulusevski, winger and former Serie A Young Player of the Year.
It is believed the Londoners have made a loan offer which includes an obligation to buy next summer.
Kulusevski is not a regular starter for Juventus and his contract runs out in the summer of 2025, so it makes sense that they would try to sell him now in order to collect a reasonable fee.
Spurs, meanwhile, are in need of a more depth in attack, so adding another winger is logical – though there are arguably other positions they should be prioritising before the transfer window closes.
As with moves for Diaz and Adama Traore, nothing is certain until it’s done, so this deal is anything but complete.
