Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, is reportedly on the brink of a North London exit as Italian giants circle. The Danish maestro has found it challenging to secure regular playing time under manager Ange Postecoglou, sparking interest from Serie A rivals AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Hojbjerg joined Tottenham in 2020 for £15 million from Southampton after impressing during his tenure at St Mary’s under Jose Mourinho. He quickly became an integral part of Spurs midfield; however, he struggled to replicate his earlier performances under new management in the recently concluded season.
The 28-year-old midfielder's future at White Hart Lane now hangs in the balance as the club is open to offers this summer. His potential departure comes after four years with Spurs and has attracted significant interest from Italy's top-flight football league.
AC Milan and Inter Milan vie for Hojbjerg’s signature
AC Milan has been eyeing Hojbjerg for some time now, but recent reports suggest that city rivals Inter Milan have also entered the race. This development sets up a potential transfer battle between two of Italy's biggest clubs.
Both teams are drawn by Hojbjerg’s experience and skill set demonstrated during his Premier League stint and previously at Bayern Munich. They are exploring options to bring him on board ahead of their upcoming campaigns.
Transfer negotiations underway
Spurs have set a €15 million asking price for Hojbjerg - a figure that seems reasonable given his quality. However, his current salary of €3.3 million could pose challenges necessitating negotiations for reduced wages to facilitate a move.
Both AC and Inter are prepared to engage in discussions with the Danish international over adjusting his salary expectations - highlighting their keen interest in integrating him into their respective teams for the upcoming season.
As the summer transfer window heats up, it will be interesting to see where Hojbjerg lands. His potential move to Serie A could provide a fresh start and an opportunity to reignite his career. For AC Milan and Inter Milan, securing his signature would undoubtedly bolster their midfield options for the forthcoming season.
