Pape Matar Sarr is getting closer to Juventus. The Senegalese midfielder is said to have reached an agreement with the Italian club, which made him a priority in the final hours of the transfer window. The next step now concerns Tottenham, with whom talks must take place to finalize the deal. (napolimagazine.com)
After the failure of the Franck Kessié deal and the uncertainty surrounding Khephren Thuram, Juventus are looking to strengthen their midfield. Sarr's profile caught the attention of the Turin club's management, who reportedly moved quickly on the personal terms with the Senegalese international. (Sky Sport)
Tottenham still need to give their approval
The agreement with the player, however, does not mean the transfer is done. Juventus must now reach an understanding with Tottenham. The Italian club would reportedly prefer a loan with an option to buy, while Spurs would like to include a mandatory purchase clause tied to certain conditions. (napolimagazine.com)
Sarr's situation has become particularly open in recent weeks. Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that the Senegalese was among the players wishing to leave Tottenham. The 23-year-old midfielder was in fact not called up for the match against Newcastle this Saturday. (Tribuna)
Already being watched by several clubs, including Monaco, Galatasaray and Nottingham Forest, Sarr could therefore be heading to Italy. Juventus now appear to have taken a leading position in this deal, but negotiations with Tottenham remain crucial.
The transfer window is entering its final stretch, and the coming hours could prove decisive for the future of the Senegalese midfielder.
