Tottenham Hotspur’s Destiny Udogie is fast becoming a highly sought-after target for Italian clubs this summer.
Spurs have started the summer by prioritising defensive additions, with Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson both arriving on free transfers.
Additionally, Ben Davies has signed a one-year contract extension with Tottenham, with the Welshman set to go into his 13th campaign as a Spurs player.
These moves have raised doubts over the future of some Tottenham full-backs, with Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence being targeted by other clubs.
Fiorentina eyeing move for Tottenham star Destiny Udogie
Over recent weeks, Juventus have been credited with an interest in Udogie, who has now been at Spurs for three seasons since joining from Udinese.
It has now been reported by Corriere dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) that another Serie A club are now willing to offer the Tottenham star a route back to Italy.
The report says that Fiorentina are set to part ways with Niccolò Fortini and Robin Gosens, and they identified the Spurs left-back as a potential replacement.
The Viola’s entrance into the race would likely not go unnoticed in Turin, particularly as sources suggest that Luciano Spalletti is ‘pushing’ the Bianconeri to land Udogie.
One stumbling block in Fiorentina’s pursuit of Udogie
Corriere dello Sport reveal that Roberto De Zerbi’s side are demanding €50m (£43.2m) for the 23-year-old full-back.
This valuation is described as a ‘major obstacle’ for Fiorentina, who believe that the price is ‘exorbitant’, especially considering Udogie’s injury record.
It was reported by TuttoJuve last week that Juventus are willing to pay €25m (£21.6m) for the Spurs left-back, which also falls short of the Lilywhites’ asking price.
