Juventus leveraging close ties with Daniel Levy to secure Tottenham discount

Juventus are looking to sign Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma for a cut-price

Juventus are once again the talk of the summer transfer window. Damien Comolli, their general manager, has set to work to reorganise a midfield that is crying out for change. The Turin club have already decided to open the door to Douglas Luiz and make a move for new players to recover muscle in midfield. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, the list of candidates includes names with experience and hierarchy. Among them is a midfielder who plays in the Premier League. It is no coincidence that they are looking for profiles with character and experience to raise the competitive level of the squad. Comolli wants to close departures and arrivals without neglecting the cash flow, and that is his obsession.

Tottenham player Yves Bissouma: a player in the Bianconeri’s sights

Yves Bissouma, current Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, is on the Vecchia Signora’s agenda. We have already revealed in an earlier report that the midfielder is linked with a move away. La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that the Italian club are considering the Malian as part of their plan to strengthen their midfield. The 28-year-old is of interest for his physicality and deployment, although his price tag is still blocking a deal. The Bianconeri do not want to offer more than €15 million, a figure that Spurs consider insufficient. The relationship between Comolli and Daniel Levy could be the key to a small discount. Juventus are also concerned that Bissouma would occupy a non-EU place, which would limit other moves. Right now, everything is open. We reported earlier that the player is also interested in joining the Serie A side.

A gamble that betrays ambition and caution

This interest of Juventus in the 28-year-old reveals several details that could weigh on Tottenham’s table. The Malian has shown moments of quality in London, but his ups and downs have not gone unnoticed. For Spurs to release him for less than 20 million would almost be a gesture of financial weakness. However, keeping him without offering consistency and confidence could aggravate a latent problem in the squad. Levy knows how to take a decision when he smells weakness, but this time, Comolli is playing the card of his direct relationship.
