Report: Juventus will only agree to loan deal for Tottenham target if there’s an obligation to buy clause

Tottenham Hotspur hoped to revamp their midfield this January transfer window, and one of the reported targets that Spurs could be going after is a familiar one to Fabio Paratici. 

Calciomercato reports that Tottenham Hotspur is engaging in talks with Paratici’s old club, Juventus FC, over the possibility of acquiring Dejan Kulusevski. 

The 21-year-old could help fill one of two needs on the squad as the Sweden international can play either the right-wing or right-midfield position. The Tottenham club chief brought Kulusevski to Turin, so he’s a player that he holds in high regard. 

Juventus isn’t against a loan deal, which is what Tottenham wants, but the Italian media outlet adds that The Old Lady will only agree to such a deal if it comes with an obligation to buy, in the range of €35-million (£29.7-million).

The Italian side wants the sum to secure funds to pursue their transfer targets. Along with Tottenham, Arsenal appears to be another Premier League club expressing interest.
