‘Negotiation underway’ for Tottenham player – Spurs in strong position and likelier to get deal they want

With Tottenham Hotspur sounding quite assertive in their stance on Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s future, Napoli may go for an alternative target.

TuttoMercatoWeb details the transfer plans from the Serie A side, always mentioning tha the Spurs midfielder is on of their names on the agenda.

The outlet claims there’s a ‘negotiation underway’ with Tottenham for his transfer, and the problem is that Spurs are not keen on letting him go on loan.

Napoli have no intention of commiting themselves to that purchase, and that’s why they look elsewhere, now speaking to Udinese about the transfer of Lazar Samardzic.

TuttoMercatoWeb says Juventus continue to be on Hojbjerg’s trail following their summer attempt, and that’s something that was commented on by the Italian media earlier on Wednesday.

It was said that while negotiating with the Bianconeri, Spurs continue pushing to include the obligation of a purchase in the deal, with that being worth €30m. The Old Lady would rather have a buying option, and that’s the discussion right now.

While they speak, it seems Napoli already have their attention elsewhere.
