Tottenham are demanding a discount from Juventus if they are to sign Dejan Kulusevski on a permanent basis from Juventus this summer.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who say that a recent meeting in London between the two clubs ended in Tottenham making it clear they only want to pay another €20m for the Sweden star.
They explain that Juventus’ Giovanni Manna went on a ‘recent blitz’ in London to negotiate with Chelsea over Dusan Vlahovic and Tottenham for Kulusevski.
That never happened and so his fee is now freely negotiable, and Tottenham want a discount on the fees previously agreed if they are to sign Kulusevski on a permanent basis.
They have already paid €10m for the initial loan deal and in their meeting with Manna they ‘made it clear’ they don’t intend to spend more than €30m in total for him.
That leaves Juventus at something of a crossroads as they need to decide whether to accept this stance or look around and try and find a different destination for the forward.
The player’s wishes will also play into negotiations, with Tottenham making their stance clear and now waiting to see how Juventus move forwards.
