Juventus are in advanced talks to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr.
The Senegalese midfielder has told Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi that he wants to leave the club.
Richarlison and Kevin Danso have also asked to leave the Lilywhites ahead of next Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
Juventus have sent a verbal proposal to Tottenham for Sarr, offering a loan deal with a mandatory option to buy him.
Discussions with his representatives are now expected to advance, with Juventus set to pip AS Monaco, Besiktas and English clubs to his services.
Danso’s agents have reportedly met with Aston Villa today. Spurs rejected Sunderland’s loan enquiry for the Austria international but he wants to leave.
The 27-year-old wants regular playing opportunities after starting the opening three games of the season on the bench.
Tottenham have strengthened in defence and midfield and could opt against bringing in replacements if Sarr and Danso leave.
Savio and Omar Marmoush have bolstered the Spurs attack following their arrivals from Manchester City.
However, De Zerbi still wants one more forward and will have to move on to other targets after Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo decided that he wants to join Man City.
Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye is an option, and a swap deal involving Richarlison moving in the opposite direction has been mooted.
Back-to-back Premier League defeats have set the alarm bells ringing at Spurs after splashing the cash this summer.
