Real Madrid and AC Milan continue to prioritise Destiny Udogie as a target to strengthen their left-back department this summer.
The 22-year-old Italian player has attracted the attention of many clubs with his performances for Tottenham. However, the realisation of the transfer could be hampered by serious financial obstacles.
Real Madrid monitoring the Italian
Real Madrid have been monitoring the Italian left-back for some time. Xabi Alonso appreciates Udogie’s talents. The La Liga giant club continues to be linked with the Italian player despite having alternative names on their list. It will be clear in the coming days whether they will make a move for him.
Destiny Udogie is under contract with the club until 2030, and Tottenham management has no intention of selling the player. Sources close to the player’s situation have informed TheBoyHotspur that they are demanding a €50-60M fee for Udogie and will reject offers below that figure.
The player’s agent emphasised the difficulty of the transfer recently by claiming: “There is no club in Italy that can pay this amount”.

AC Milan views Udogie as the ideal candidate for the left-back position after the possible departure of Theo Hernández. Technical director Massimiliano Allegri and sporting director Igli Tare want to sign the player, but negotiations with Tottenham are not easy.
Udogie is happy at Tottenham and is not pushing to leave the club. However, it is stated that he would be “open to negotiations” in the face of a strong offer if the club authorises it. His development in the Premier League and his experience in European competitions make him an attractive target.
It will be interesting to see if the two European clubs are prepared to pay the asking price for him. He could be a long-term asset for them, and he might end up justifying the investment in future.
