Tottenham have agreed a deal to allow Pape Matar Sarr to join Juventus on loan for the season, with an option to buy of £26 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Roberto De Zerbi recently confirmed that Sarr had asked to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
"The other player, Sarr, is the same [asked to leave] but he's suffered a small injury. But, he's almost ready to train."
Spurs have spent significantly in the summer transfer window, particularly in midfield, which could have pushed Sarr further down the pecking order.
Tottenham's current midfielder list:
Sandro Tonali
Archie Gray
Rodrigo Bentancur
Mateus Fernandes
Lucas Bergvall
Conor Gallagher
Pape Matar Sarr
James Maddison
De Zerbi has a number of different options he can use in the middle of the park, so an exit in midfield was always likely this summer.
Reporting on X, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Juventus have now agreed to a deal to sign Sarr on loan for the season.
The reliable journalist confirms that there is a buy option worth £26 million, which will become mandatory under certain conditions.
Sarr joined the club when he was 18 back in 2021, and he has been a key squad player ever since.
Unfortunately for him, playing regularly this season was always going to be difficult due to the options De Zerbi has at his disposal.
Buy option conditions revealed for Sarr
A separate report has emerged detailing the conditions in which Sarr's loan deal at Juventus will turn permanent.
Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has confirmed that the move will turn permanent if Juventus qualify for the Europa League or Champions League. He also has to play in 50% of their appearances.
You do feel that there's a strong chance that Juventus qualify for Europe, while there's a strong possibility Sarr is a regular for them this season.
It's certainly a good move for him to go and play regular football, as he is going to struggle for minutes if he remains at Tottenham.
