Tottenham Hotspur have "officially" put Yves Bissouma up for sale after his falling out with Thomas Frank ahead of the UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
TheBoyHotspur reports that Bissouma is now expected to leave Spurs after he was omitted from Frank's squad for the cup final loss to PSG on Wednesday (August 13). The Malian midfielder also missed the Lilywhites' 3-0 win over Burnley in their Premier League opener on Saturday (August 16).
Bissouma was dropped after repeated lateness saw him break the club's "internal rules", but his future was already uncertain. The arrival of Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich had cast significant doubts over his place in Frank's side.
Tottenham Ready To Sell Bissouma After Frank Fallout
Bissouma is now available for sale, and the North Londoners are ready to be "flexible in negotiations" because the 28-year-old's contract is up next summer. He's been with the club since the summer of 2022, arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion in a £30m deal.
The Mali international isn't short of suitors as Juventus are thought to be frontrunners, especially if they offload Douglas Luiz. The Brazilian is reportedly close to completing a move to Nottingham Forest, freeing up space in the Old Lady's midfield.
Juve feel Spurs' current asking price is too high and could wait to make their move in the final stages of the transfer window, which slams shut on September 1. His age profile and wages are viewed as a good fit for the Serie A giants, although their rivals AS Roma are also keeping tabs.
Bissouma could stay put in the Premier League as West Ham United are also showing interest, and Graham Potter will be eager to freshen up his midfield. The Hammers were embarrassed by newly-promoted Sunderland in a 3-0 defeat in their season opener, and the English tactician knows the player well, having overseen his development at Brighton.
A move to the Turkish Super Lig to link up with Jose Mourinho is another possibility as Fenerbahce are expected to make contact with Spurs. They are thought to be "pushing hard" to bring the player to Turkiye and, like Juve, have no issues with his wages.
Bissouma, who Chris Waddle previously hailed "outstanding", was a regular under Ange Postecoglou last season, featuring 44 times across competitions. He played the entire 90 minutes of the Lilywhites' 1-0 win against Manchester United in the Europa League final, which might be his final appearance for the club.
