Accving Tottenham Hotspur on loan in January and is instead looking to leave the ording to the print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by Sport
Several Italian media reported last week that Juve were considering a move for Hojbjerg in January, with CalcioMercato being the first to suggest the Serie A side would consider signing the Spurs player on contract. Initial loan with permanent option. .
A few days ago, Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness) claimed that the midfielder’s representatives are expected to travel to Turin to meet with the Old Lady’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, and discuss a possible transfer. .
Loaning is not an option for Hojbjerg
La Gazzetta have now become the latest media outlet to report Juve’s interest in Hojbjerg, saying the Dane is a “very popular” target within the Bianconeri hierarchy.
However, the publication adds that negotiations with Spurs over the 28-year-old “should not be very easy”. Indeed, neither the north London club nor the player are willing to go on loan, as both want the move to be permanent.
Spurs web opinion
Hojbjerg will have just 18 months left on his contract with Tottenham in January. So the Lilywhites will want any loan deal to come with an obligation to buy the midfielder next summer.

TuttoMercatoWeb have revealed that Napoli have now set their sights on Giovani Lo Celso ahead of the January transfer window.
Over the last couple of weeks, multiple Spanish outlets have reported that Barcelona (Sport) and Real Betis (Fichajes) are plotting January moves for Lo Celso.
However, a couple of days ago, Estadio Deportivo revealed that they had heard from sources close to the player that he has no plans to leave the North London club.
The outlet asserted that the 27-year-old wants to fight for his place under Ange Postecoglou and is keen to succeed at Tottenham.
Napoli now enter the race for Giovani Lo Celso
The interest in Lo Celso’s services appears to be growing, with TMW claiming that Napoli are also keeping an eye on the Spurs star’s situation.
The report states that the Serie A club tried to sign the midfielder on a loan deal with an option to buy in the summer but that formula was ‘not appreciated’ by Tottenham.
It is alleged that the Italian champions are expected to try again for Lo Celso in January, with the Lilywhites thought to value the player at €15m (£13m).
Spurs Web Opinion
It remains to be seen if Lo Celso gets any minutes under his belt once he is back fit. I doubt he would get much game time, given that Brennan Johnson could also be used in the number eight role as cover for James Maddison. A January exit is very much on the cards for the Argentine.
