Earlier this week, Sport Witness covered Juventus’ interest in Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie.
Calciomercato IT were sure that the left-back was being seen as a replacement for Andrea Cambiaso, who has struggled this season.
The Juve player was believed to have suitors lurking around. His exit would make room for the Tottenham player, who has grown since his arrival from Udinese in 2022.
There was uncertainty about Spurs’ stance and Juve’s ability to match the asking price. Now more details are emerging.

A deal is likely to be complex due to the player’s contract at the London club. His deal runs out in 2030 and despite that, Juve are preparing a significant financial investment to bring Udogie back to Italy. They are not fearful fabout Tottenham’s price tag, with Cambiaso’s exit likely to fund the transfer.
There is belief that the 23-year-old’s name will ‘remain hot’ in Turin for the next few weeks. He is seen as the ideal solution to problems on the left.
Injuries derailing Tottenham progress
Due to muscle and knee injuries, Udogie has seen his game time fall away this season. Even last season under Ange Postecoglou, he had a hamstring injury which had kept him out for a couple of months.
While he has improved as a player, it remains to be seen if he can take the next step at Tottenham. The London club’s instability isn’t helping, as they have their third manager in 12 months in Igor Tudor now.
