As reported by Sport Witness and published in Friday’s print edition of Tuttosport, Tottenham would have no trouble paying Genoa’s asking price for Albert Gudmundsson, even though Juventus believes the valuation is quite high.
According to the source, Juventus has had Gudmundsson on their radar for a number of months, and the Serie A powerhouses are reportedly “serious” about their pursuit of the adaptable attacker.
But Tottenham is said to be a “bogeyman” in the Premier League, so the Turin team has to watch them closely if they want to sign the 26-year-old.
Given that Gudmundsson’s current contract expires in 2027, TuttoSport reports that Genoa is seeking €35 million (£30 million) for its talisman this summer.
It is clarified that although Bianconeri views this amount as “too high,” Tottenham would “not have any trouble meeting the valuation.”
The article claims that Massimiliano Allegri’s team is still hopeful about defeating the Lilywhites to sign the player.
Although Spurs have “tested the waters,” the Serie A powerhouses have already met with Gudmundsson’s representation and have not yet made a formal offer for the player, according to the source.
Diverse Italian sources are presenting conflicting details regarding who Tottenham’s primary rivals for Gudmundsson are anticipated to be: Juventus or Inter Milan.
Furthermore, a number of publications have stated that the 26-year-old wants to transfer to the Premier League, while some have suggested that he would want to stay in Italy. Therefore, there is now a lack of certainty over the future of the Genoa star.
