Tottenham player ‘not open’ to loan – Negotiations with Spurs ‘not expected to be be very easy’

For the past week or so, claims from Italy have stated Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has a desire to leave Tottenham Hotspur after being restricted to a substitute role under Ange Postecoglou.

Three days ago, Calciomercato reported the 28-year-old’s agent is at work to look for a solution for his client.

On Thursday, Corriere dello Sport said the agent was scheduled to meet Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli to understand his potential plans for the Tottenham player.

Friday’s Gazzetta dello Sport also discusses the Serie A side’s interest in the midfielder as they would have to strengthen the position in January, more so if Paul Pogba’s suspension is not lifted.

It’s claimed the Denmark international is a ‘very popular’ target for the Turin club.

The newspaper adds the negotiations with the Premier League side are  ‘not expected to be very easy’ because both Tottenham and the former Southampton man are ‘not open’ to a loan deal in the winter market.

Gazzetta explain that Højbjerg and his employer are only looking for a permanent transfer, something Juve are finding it difficult to carry out in January.
