On Wednesday, Marca stated Tottenham Hotspur’s Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is keen to make a switch to Atlético Madrid. It was also reported the La Liga side’s offer hasn’t convinced Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
The midfielder was left on the bench in his side’s 2-2 draw against Brentford and this could be a sign that a transfer could be on the cards for him.
That’s according to today’s Ekstra Bladet, who state the Tottenham player is ‘now close to a move’ to the La Liga side. This is mentioned in the report’s summary.
Within the report, it’s said the Denmark international is keen to make a switch to Madrid to ‘test his skills’ in a new league.
The newspaper relay claims made in Spain of Los Rojiblancos making a €25m offer and then say Diego Simeone’s side have to table a bid of around DKK 220-240m [€29.5-32.2m] to sign the 28-year-old.
Diego Simeone will be without Koke for the upcoming fixtures and his absence leaves a ‘big hole’ in his side’s midfield.
Ekstra Bladet state this could lead to developments in Atlético’s pursuit of Højbjerg.
