Juventus don begin move close to sign Pape Matar Sarr from Tottenham Hotspur as dem scramble to strengthen dia squad before transfer deadline don close. The Bianconeri don reach verbal agreement for the Senegal international to solve di middle of di park crisis wey dey worry dem.
Tottenham demselves don open door for Sarr to go before Tuesday deadline. According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs dey ready to allow di midfielder to comot. Sarr don score 11 goals and provide 11 assists for 141 matches for Tottenham since e join from French side FC Metz for August 2021.
Last season, e play 37 times for di club, with 26 for Premier League. But dis time, di 6ft 1in star don find hinsef down for di pecking order. Spurs don break dia transfer record twice dis summer for midfielders—first for Mateus Fernandes with £85 million, then again for Sandro Tonali with £100 million. With Lucas Bergvall set to stay for Roberto De Zerbi squad, Sarr sef appear free to go.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke don reveal say Spurs plan to accept offer for Sarr for di coming days. Romano confirm am too. E talk say, “Pape Matar Sarr don be offered to Juventus as midfield option after Kessie deal off. E dey allowed to leave Tottenham with talks wey don already dey go on for days with AS Monaco, wey dey lead di race.”
Juventus don miss out on Franck Kessie wey don agree to return to Atalanta instead. So dem dey look at Sarr as alternative. According to Sky Sports, Juve “dey explore di conditions of a deal” for Sarr.
But e no be only Juventus. Trusted Turkish reporter Yagiz Sabuncuoglu talk say Galatasaray don agree personal terms with di 23-year-old. Di Super Lig giants don make bid of £17 million, but Spurs want £21 million to sell. Galatasaray now dey face competition from Juve, Monaco, and Nottingham Forest for di player.
Forest sef dey try to sign Harrison Armstrong from Everton for £40 million, and e remain to see how dat one go affect dia move for Sarr. Romano also mention say centre-back Kevin Danso fit follow Sarr comot Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. E talk say, “Keep an eye on Kevin Danso because di centre-back of Tottenham Hotspur could be one to watch for di next days. My understanding be say Danso go open to leave Tottenham for di final days of di summer transfer window.”
“For Tottenham, e remain important player. But at centre-back, dem get several players for Premier League plus internal competition, domestic competition, no European football. So when you get Senesi, Micky van de Ven, Van Hecke and more options, e no easy for Danso to accept to dey for bench most of di time. At di same time, for Roberto De Zerbi, e don be important player before, since e arrive. Now, Danso want to play more. So make we see wetin go happen there. Sunderland don call for Danso, but Tottenham say no to loan.”
