Report: Club keen on selling midfielder to fund transfers – Spurs most keen

Juventus reportedly want to sign Atalanta wing-back Joakim Maehle, but first need to raise money for transfers which could come via the sale of Tottenham target Weston McKennie (TuttoSport).

The report claims that Juventus need to sell before they can buy in the January transfer window, with USA international McKennie mentioned as a prime candidate for the chopping block.

TuttoSport actually claim that Borussia Dortmund are also in the race for the Juventus midfielder, but it is Tottenham who are most keen on the player heading into the winter window.

Fabio Paratici was the man who brought McKennie from Schalke to Juve in the first place back in 2020 and it appears the Tottenham Managing Director of Football wants to sign him yet again.

Spurs certainly have a good track record with signing out-of-favour Juventus players previously signed by Paratici, with Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur currently setting the Premier League alight.

Spurs Web Opinion:

Weston McKennie and Ruslan Malinovskyi would be my two picks as Tottenham’s most likely signings in January, although it is likely only one of them will come in, perhaps alongside a right-wing-back and/or a central defender.
