While Juventus are keen on landing Yves Bissouma, they might be beaten to the punch as another European club is now ready to make their opening bid for the Tottenham man.
Since the start of the summer, several outlets have claimed that Tottenham could cash in on Bissouma, who now has just a year left on his contract at the North London club.
The Mali international only met Thomas Frank in the last few days, having not been part of the first group of players who have reported for pre-season training at Hotspur Way.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Juventus are eyeing a move for Bissouma after learning that he might not be part of Frank’s plans at N17. However, it turns out that a former Spurs manager could look to beat the Bianconeri to the player.

According to a report in Sabah, Fenerbahce are now ready to make a move for Bissouma at the behest of their manager, Jose Mourinho.
The former Spurs head coach is said to be an admirer of the 28-year-old and asked the Fener hierarchy to bring him to Istanbul.
It is alleged that the Turkish side are ready to open negotiations with Tottenham and are even preparing a €15m (£13m) offer for the former Brighton man.
