Tottenham facing serious competition from Atalanta for young Turkish international

Tottenham is interested in a move for Merih Demiral as Fabio Paratici begins work in London.

The Turkish defender has been on the books of Juventus since 2019, but he has struggled to play regularly.

He is the fourth choice defender in Turin behind the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Matthijs de Ligt.

He remains a part of their squad, but he is mostly only considered for selection when those above him are not available for action.

The Bianconeri are also bringing a young defender, Radu Dragusin through the first team door at the club and he is now a part of their squad.

Reports in Italy via Football Italia says they will sell Demiral or Dragusin this summer as Massimiliano Allegri attempts to cut down the number of players he would work with.

Tottenham is now looking to bring him to England and he would probably cost them around 30m to 40m euros.

They also face competition from Atalanta who has found Juve to be a happy hunting ground recently.

They signed Cristian Romero from the Old Lady at the start of last season and he was one of the best defenders in Italy in the campaign.

Spurs should be able to offer Demiral more in wages if they can reach an agreement with Juventus.
