Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has been reduced to a limited role at Tottenham Hotspur after Ange Postecoglou’s arrival at the club in the summer.
After being a regular for the past three years, the 28-year-old has been restricted to 80 minutes of action from six league games this season.
According to Calciomercato, the midfielder is ‘very disappointed’ with his current situation at Tottenham, and in a certain way, ‘feels betrayed’ by the club he ‘loves so much’.
Therefore, the player is looking for a new challenge and this could be the reason why he recently parted ways with his agent.
Atlético Madrid looked at the Denmark international in the last window and continue to have him on their agenda for January.
Diego Simeone is an admirer of the Tottenham man and the outlet states the La Liga side are planning a new assault in the winter market.
Atlético must be wary of the Old Lady as both their sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, and their manager, Massimiliano Allegri, like the Dane ‘a lot’.
Calciomercato say Tottenham value the player at €40m and aren’t open to a loan deal, which seems to be the only option at the moment for the Serie A side.
The latest contact between Juve and Højbjerg’s new agent is an indication that Giuntoli is ‘ready to seize’ an opportunity, provided there are possibilities to carry out the deal.
