Since leaving Juventus last summer, Fabio Paratici has emerged as a direct rival for the Bianconeri on the transfer market after taking charge at Tottenham Hotspur.
Although the two clubs play in different leagues, the North Londoners have become main players in the Italian mercato due to the presence of Paratici alongside Antonio Conte,
So according to Calciomercato, Tottenham have secured a deal for Udinese’s Destiny Udogie who has been closely monitored by Juventus.
The 19-year-old rose to prominence last season with brilliant displays for the Zebrette on the left flank. The youngster caught the attention of a host of Italian clubs, including the Bianconeri.
The source adds that Inter and Lazio were also monitoring the situation, as well as Premier League clubs like Manchester City and Brighton.
However, it was the Spurs who anticipated the competition by striking a deal with Udogie and his club. The report claims that Paratici has been in talks with the player’s representative for over a month.
While Udinese were reluctant to sell, Tottenham came forward with an enticing offer that could reach 25 million euros. Moreover, the English club will allow the Friulians to maintain the player’s service for another year before he makes the trip to London.
Last season, Udogie contributed with five goals and four assists in 35 Serie A appearances for Udinese.
I can’t even describe on how disappointed I am with Juventus management. To let this young stud talent go to England. And he’s on the national team aswell. I’m literally sick to my stomach. I’m hoping this is all fake news. This is one player Juve will regret not signing. Trust me.
He doesn’t meet Flimestone Max Allegri’s age requirements
udinese said he wasn`t for sale, looks liek he was for sale to an english club
I don’t understand why management are such penny pinchers. Every passing season we’re falling so far behind the England elite teams. They put themselves in positions were there stuck with huge salaries on unwanted players. They made some great signings , but have also made some bad ones that make no sense. Sign Udogie, get Werner on loan with option, and get Paredes. We still have the extra 30 mil from the De light sale. Barcelona are in way worse condition than us financially and making so many great signings. Like there pulling out cash from every nook and cranny in the chesterfield.
Really disappointed
Sometimes Juve displays overconfidence when a player in Seria A is concerned. They sometimes feel they can sign any player in Seria A whenever they want to.
we will learn a lesson i think, i`m beginning to wonder if we got too comfortable and only the fans can see that. pogba was not good enough
