Any clubs interested in signing Destiny Udogie from Tottenham this summer will need at least €50m to tempt them into talks.
That’s according to his agent, Stefano Antonelli, who has commented on a possible exit from Tottenham to Tuttomercatoweb.
Udogie is currently celebrating with the rest of his teammates after the 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final this week.
That has perhaps changed any plans for the summer, with Champions League football now secured for Tottenham next season thanks to their success in the Europa League.
Udogie was one of the current Tottenham stars who had found himself being linked with a move away. Several clubs in Italy were believed to be interested in taking him back to his homeland this summer if they could.
That may be significantly more difficult to do now that Tottenham are back in the Champions League and have their first trophy in 17 years to boot.
The Tottenham man’s agent certainly isn’t giving any encouragement to the transfer rumours, insisting it would take €50m at least before Spurs would even consider transfer talks about the left-back.
“It’s the second year of an incredible experience at Tottenham, where he’s always played: talking about vertical growth is absolutely in line with reality,” he said.
“He’s a player who could play in all the top European clubs. With the conquest of the Champions League, next season will be completely different.
“The transfer market is always open in all directions. Now I challenge anyone to go and buy Udogie from Tottenham for a sum less than €50m. Which Italian team can do it lightly?
“In Italy many players have arrived from the Premier League who have done not well, but very well, look at Anguissa, Lukaku, Tomori, to name a few. McTominay is a player of another category. Players who perhaps had little space in England: how can you think of going to take a Tottenham regular? Something special has to happen for the club to let him go.
“Translated: either a large amount of money, or because he is not part of the technical plans. As of today, I think I can exclude the second hypothesis.”
