Destiny Udogie Tottenham
Juventus have set their sights on a deal for Destiny Udogie, but Tottenham will laugh them out of North London with the reported valuation.
Tottenham’s backline has struggled so far this season, with the Lilywhites having shipped two or more goals in three of their five league games this season.
Roberto De Zerbi has not been able to field his first-choice back four yet this season, owing to injuries and fitness issues in the full-back areas.
New signing Andy Robertson has played more often than many may have expected this season, and this has now prompted another Tottenham left-back to emerge as a target for an Italian club.

Juventus plotting cut-price signing of Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie
Destiny Udogie’s constant injury issues slowed down his development following an impressive first season at Spurs for the Italian in 2023-24.

Corriere dello Sport have now claimed that the left-back, who was left out of the Italy squad for the Nations League by Roberto Mancini, could return to Serie A soon.
The report claims that Juventus are scouring the market for a new left-back and have settled on Atalanta back Lorenzo Bernasconi as their top target.
However, the Bergamo club do not want to lose the 22-year-old and are expected to demand around €20m to €25m (£17m-£21.2m) for his services.
This has seen the Bianconeri explore other cheaper alternatives, including Udogie. The report claims that an offer of €15m (£12.7m) could be enough to convince Spurs to part ways with the former Udinese man.
Spurs will not entertain such a low offer for Udogie
Tottenham may decide to cash in on the 23-year-old full-back at the end of the campaign if he has another injury-hit season.
In fact, in the recent meeting with the Fan Advisory Board (FAB), Vinai Venkatesham stressed the need for Spurs to become good sellers in order to compete in the transfer market.
A large part of that is to get the timing of a sale right rather than holding onto a player for too long and seeing his value drop.
While there is no doubt that Udogie’s fitness issues would have dented his market value, it is wishful thinking on Juventus’ part to believe that an offer of around £13m would be anywhere near enough to land the Italy international.
For the record, Tottenham sold Tynan Thompson to Man United for £8m, Alejo Veliz for £7.7m, and as much as a potential £20m for the likes of Will Lankshear, Ashley Phillips, and Radu Dragusin.
Surely, Tottenham would hold out for at least £30m plus if Udogie has an injury-hit season, and far more if he finally fulfils his potential this year.
