Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is on the verge of leaving North London, with several clubs expressing interest in him.
Among these, AC Milan have emerged as a strong contender for his signature.
According to Corriere dello Sport, as reported by Sport Witness, Hojbjerg is actively seeking a move away from Spurs, with his agents already engaging in talks with multiple clubs.
The report claims that the player himself wants out as he wants to play Champions League football next season and considers his time at Spurs ‘virtually over’. He has also started looking for a new house.
AC Milan view the Danish international as a valuable addition to their midfield and considers him an affordable target, with a potential transfer fee of around €20 million.
Ange Postecoglou has reportedly approved Hojbjerg’s sale, indicating that the midfielder does not fit into his long-term plans.
Last season, Hojbjerg made only eight Premier League starts out of his 36 appearances, prompting the 28-year-old to look for regular playing opportunities elsewhere.
Hojbjerg’s intention to leave has been apparent for several months, with interest from clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Fulham, Juventus, and Napoli.
Additionally, his former manager at Spurs, Jose Mourinho, has shown keen interest in reuniting with him at Fenerbahce. Mourinho, who heavily relied on Hojbjerg during his tenure at Tottenham, sees him as a crucial addition to his squad in Turkey.
Entering the final year of his contract, which expires in June next year, Tottenham is open to selling Hojbjerg for £20 million.
This transfer would provide the playing time the midfielder desires and generate funds for the Lilywhites to reinvest in new signings.
As the summer progresses, the upcoming weeks will be critical in determining Hojbjerg’s future and Spurs’ plans for strengthening their squad.
