Multiple outlets are now reporting that Juventus are plotting a move for former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards, who has been linked with a return to Spurs this summer.
Tottenham were linked with re-signing Edwards
A number of outlets over the past couple of months have said that Spurs want to re-sign Edwards, who departed the club back in 2019 to move to Portugal.
This includes Football.London, who pointed out back in May that Tottenham may be able to sign the winger on a discount since they still have a 35 per cent sell-on clause.
Spurs are not the only Premier League side credited with an interest in the 25-year-old, with Crystal Palace also alleged to be eyeing the wide man as a potential replacement for Michael Olise (Football Insider).
Juventus enter race for Marcus Edwards
Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to reveal that Juve are keen on adding a winger to their squad, with Edwards said to be one of the names on their shortlist.
This information has also been backed up by A Bola, who say that the Bianconeri are now plotting a move to bring the Englishman to the Allianz Stadium.
However, they reveal that Sporting are demanding a fee of around €25m for the former Spurs man, which could be a roadblock for the deal.
That kind of fee would pocket Spurs around €8.5m or £7.25m thanks to their 35 per cent sell-on clause.
Spurs Web Opinion
I am not surprised that Tottenham have not pursued Edwards seriously this summer.
Postecoglou would want a wide player who can improve his starting eleven and the Sporting star is not quite at that level yet.
