Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly unwilling to sell Juventus targets Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie this summer, but another Spurs defender, Radu Dragusin, has been offered to the Old Lady.

Juventus are expected to reshape their defence this summer as the Bianconeri will be forced to listen to offers for some of their stars, including Gleison Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso, for financial reasons.

With the latter attracting interest from Chelsea and Barcelona in recent days, Italian media outlets, including Gazzetta dello Sport, have reported that the Bianconeri set their sights on Tottenham’s Spence and Udogie as potential replacements.

According to TEAMTalk, however, De Zerbi is unwilling to let either full-back leave, so Juventus will have to look elsewhere if Cambiaso leaves.

Tottenham defender Dragusin offered to Juventus

Tuttosport has linked a third Tottenham defender with a move to Juventus. It’s not a full-back, like Spence or Udogie, but a centre-back: Dragusin.

Dragusin’s agents reportedly offered the Tottenham defender to Juventus director Marco Ottolini, who first brought Dragusin to Genoa from Juventus in 2022 and then sold him to Spurs two years later.

According to the report, Tottenham are ready to sell Dragusin for a fee between €20m and €25m, as Spurs are ready to welcome Marcos Senesi as a free agent and are in talks with Brighton for Jan Paul van Hecke after reaching an agreement with the 26-year-old.

Matteo Moretto reports that Tottenham Hotspur wants to give Sandro Tonali the ‘keys to their project’, so Spurs have entered the race to sign the Italian midfielder, with Roberto De Zerbi pushing for a summer move.

Premier League side Tottenham have “strongly” joined the race to sign Tonali, according to Italian transfer expert Matteo Moretto.

According to the report, the North Londoners want to make Tonali the cornerstone of their project and are already working to finalise a deal with Newcastle.

Tonali transfer latest: Tottenham join the race

Moretto claims that Manchester City and Manchester United have also shown interest, while Fabrizio Romano reported last week that Arsenal had resumed talks for the ex-Milan star.

Tonali would reunite with De Zerbi at Tottenham, with the Italian tactician very keen to welcome his compatriot in North London.

Both De Zerbi and Tonali are from Lombardy; Tonali was born in Lodi but was raised in Brescia, where he made his Serie A debut in 2019. De Zerbi was born in Brescia and played in the Milan Youth Sector.

Moretto reports that De Zerbi is pushing for Tonali’s transfer and that the 26-year-old midfielder is open to joining Spurs this summer.

Fiorentina are reviving their pursuit of two players with Serie A pedigree currently playing abroad, with sporting director Fabio Paratici targeting both Radu Dragusin and Matteo Ruggeri as he looks to strengthen the defence this summer.

According to Gazzetta, both players are of interest to the Viola as they look to recover from an overall disappointing 25/26 campaign.

Dragusin, a Tottenham centre-back with a background in Serie A, was already a target during the January window when Fiorentina attempted to prise him away from Spurs.

Ruggeri’s Atletico Madrid price tag matches Dragusin valuation as Fiorentina weigh double move

The relationship between the two clubs remains strong given Paratici’s years working in north London before returning to Italy in February, and that connection could prove valuable in any renewed negotiation.

Tottenham’s valuation of around €20 million, however, remains the primary obstacle to a deal being struck.

Ruggeri, a left-back with a long history at Atalanta now playing for Atletico Madrid in Spain, is valued at a similar figure of around €20 million.

Both deals would represent significant outlays for Fiorentina, particularly if pursued simultaneously, but Paratici’s familiarity with both players’ clubs and his existing relationships could prove decisive as the Viola look to overhaul multiple defensive positions ahead of the new season.

Reports in Italy claim that Tottenham Hotspur could make a move for Juventus’s Gleison Bremer to replace Cristian Romero in defence, and that the Premier League side could look to include Italy goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as part of a deal.

Report: Tottenham interested in buying Bremer and selling Vicario to Juventus

Romero, a former Juventus defender himself, is widely expected to leave Tottenham this summer.

The 28-year-old, currently serving as captain, infuriated Spurs supporters when he decided to attend a match between Belgrano and River Plate in his native Argentina while his teammates played their crucial final Premier League game of the season against Everton, when the club had not yet confirmed their survival in the English top flight.

Romero was injured at the time and had been given permission by the club to return to Argentina for further treatment ahead of the World Cup.

If Romero is to leave Tottenham this summer, reports from Tuttosport claim that Roberto De Zerbi’s side could make a move for Juventus’s Bremer, who has a release clause worth €58m valid in his contract between July 1 and August 10.

According to Tuesday’s report, Juventus will demand €58m, or at least a fee close to that amount if they are to part ways with the 29-year-old Brazil international this summer.

Tuttosport also claims that Tottenham could seek to include goalkeeper Vicario in an attempt to lower the transfer fee for Bremer.

Multiple sources claim that Randal Kolo Muani is open to returning to Juventus in the summer, so the Bianconeri remain in talks with PSG as they aim to sign both the Frenchman and Alexander Sorloth.

Juventus need to rebuild their attack entirely as Dusan Vlahovic will leave as a free agent at the end of his contract on June 30, while Lois Openda and Jonathan David failed to impress in their debut season in Turin, convincing the Old Lady to listen to offers for them in the summer.

Kolo Muani transfer latest: Juventus continue talks with PSG

Juventus are already in talks with Atletico Madrid for Sorloth and have reached an agreement with the Norway international. However, according to Romeo Agresti of Sky Sport and Tuttosport, the Bianconeri remain in talks with PSG over Kolo Muani as well.

Tuttosport reports that PSG’s asking price is around €35m, while Juventus are unwilling to invest more than €30m.

The Ligue 1 giants might accept a loan deal with an obligation to buy, tied to almost-guaranteed conditions, given that Kolo Muani’s contract runs out in June 2028.

Surely, the Frenchman is not part of Luis Enrique’s plans, and PSG are unwilling to offer the ex-Tottenham loanee a new deal.

Kolo Muani already scored ten goals in 22 Juventus appearances in the second half of 2024-25 and is reportedly eager to return to the Allianz Stadium despite a lack of Champions League football in 2026-27.

Roma defender Evan Ndicka is reportedly on the market for €35m with Tottenham Hotspur, Inter and Olympique Marseille interested, but could also remain.

The centre-back came to the Eternal City as a free agent in the summer of 2023 from Eintracht Frankfurt, and has become a rock in their defence.

Ndicka on radar of big clubs

With a contract that runs to June 2028, there have been numerous reports suggesting he could leave this summer.

Inter had mentioned him in a possible exchange with Davide Frattesi going the other way, but clubs from abroad have also set their sights on the Ivory Coast international.

They include Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur, and Olympique Marseille in Ligue 1.

Considering Roma have qualified for the Champions League after a seven-year absence, it is entirely possible that Ndicka could remain at the Stadio Olimpico too.

Fabio Paratici is targeting a move for Radu Dragusin as one of his first acts as Fiorentina sporting director, with the Romanian centre-back a long-standing personal target of the director who knows Tottenham’s operation inside out having served as their managing director of football.

According to La Nazione, via FirenzeViola, Paratici is drawing on his extensive network both domestically and internationally as he shapes Fiorentina’s summer recruitment, and his familiarity with Spurs gives the Viola a natural advantage in any approach for Dragusin, who was also linked with the club during the most recent January window.

Tottenham, however, value the Romanian at a minimum of €20 million, which remains a significant hurdle.

Miretti and Majer join Dragusin on Fiorentina’s radar as Paratici shapes summer plans

In midfield, Fiorentina’s interest in Fabio Miretti is also reported, with the Juventus midfielder returning from a loan spell at Genoa and contracted to the Bianconeri until 2028.

Paratici knows Miretti well from his time at Juventus, adding another personal dimension to the pursuit.

Further afield, Fiorentina have made informal enquiries about Wolfsburg midfielder Lovro Majer.

The Croatian is available following Wolfsburg’s relegation from the Bundesliga, but Napoli and Como are understood to be ahead in the race for the 28-year-old.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that PSG want €30m from Juventus for Randal Kolo Muani’s permanent transfer, but the Bianconeri are tempted to include Jonathan David in a swap deal.

Juventus have made Kolo Muani their transfer priority to replace Dusan Vlahovic, who will leave the Allianz Stadium at the end of his contract on June 30.

Kolo Muani will return to PSG after a one-season loan spell at Tottenham and has prioritised a return to Turin, where he already spent six months on loan in the second part of 2024-25, scoring ten goals in 22 appearances across all competitions.

According to Gazzetta, Juventus and PSG directors already held talks before the Champions League Final in Budapest last week, with the Ligue 1 giants demanding €30m for the Frenchman’s permanent move.

Why Juventus want to include David in Kolo Muani swap deal

Juventus, however, could decide to include Canada international David in a swap deal, especially since PSG director Luis Campos admires the 26-year-old and brought him to Lille from Gent in 2020.

A swap deal between the two strikers, valued at €30m each, would provide a financial boost for both sides given that David joined Juventus on a free transfer less than a year ago.

It remains to be seen whether PSG coach Luis Enrique would be happy with the signing of David, given that the newly crowned Champions League winners already have Ousmane Dembélé in their squad and Gonçalo Ramos as a backup.

Friday’s reports claim that Premier League sides Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in a potential summer transfer for Roma midfielder and Italy international Niccolo Pisilli.

Could Pisilli be set for a Premier League move?

The 21-year-old, who has been included in Silvio Baldini’s Italy national team squad for the June international friendlies, is beginning to attract interest from some of the Premier League’s big spenders.

Pisilli had to bide his time for opportunities in Serie A in 2025-26, but by the midway stage of the season, he had become a first-team regular and featured in 21 consecutive league matches by the end of the campaign.

He also chipped in with a goal and two assists Roma’s final four matches of the season, which came as part of a five-game winning streak that pushed the Giallorossi into the Champions League positions.

Now, according to reports from romanews.eu, Tottenham and Newcastle have taken an interest and could be poised to make an offer this summer.

Friday’s report claims that Pisilli is currently valued in the region of €35m, which would not be a major issue for the likes of Newcastle or Tottenham and the riches they have at their disposal.

As has been widely reported, Roma must raise funds of up to €60m before the end of June in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.

Randal Kolo Muani is set to return to Paris Saint-Germain after a mixed loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur, but his stay in the French capital is expected to be brief, with Roma reportedly on the verge of submitting a formal offer for the French international, and Como also emerging as an interested party.

According to TRT Sport, as noted by Calciomercato.it, Roma are close to making the first official approach to PSG for Kolo Muani’s signature.

The Frenchman managed only five goals in 41 appearances across all competitions at Spurs, largely deployed out of position on the right flank rather than as the central striker he prefers. His numbers were underwhelming, but interest in him remains considerable given his quality in seasons past.

Juventus lose ground in Kolo Muani race as Champions League failure takes its toll

Juventus had long been considered the frontrunner for Kolo Muani, having already held preliminary discussions with PSG over a potential deal.

However, their failure to qualify for the Champions League has weakened their hand considerably, with both Roma and Como, both of whom will compete in Europe’s elite competition next season, now better placed to offer the striker the sporting platform he desires.

Turkish clubs have also registered interest, though Kolo Muani is understood to have no desire to move outside the top five European leagues at this stage of his career.
