Juventus Struggles to Catch Up to Tottenham Ace
While they wait for the initial Paul Pogba decision, Juventus is still pursuing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. On Thursday, the counteranalysis will take place. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, a protracted and difficult legal process would begin if the sample tested positive once more.
If he is suspended for any length of time, the Bianconeri will have the option to discontinue his contract. In a recent interview, director Cristiano Giuntoli offered his opinion.
Pogba’s departure would allow Juventus to save €30 million over the course of his deal, money the management could use right away to sign Hojbjerg. Although he is dissatisfied with his playing time, the Old Lady would need to overcome substantial obstacles in order to add him. The parties have already made contact, and the player is enthusiastic about the location.
For instance, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr, the Spurs’ current starting lineup, will take part in AFCON in January. The hierarchy might be hesitant to let a midfielder go. Furthermore, Atletico Madrid are still searching after ending the summer without success.
Tottenham also opposes an initial loan, which would aid Juventus in their pursuit of Hojbjerg, and demands at least €30M to cover replacement costs.
