Pape Matar Sarr is set to complete a season-long loan move from Tottenham to Juventus with a conditional obligation to buy, and he will be the third player to move from North London to Turin this summer.
Several Premier League clubs and European clubs showed keen interest in Sarr, but one of the biggest clubs in Serie A has won the race for him.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri have signed the Tottenham midfielder on loan with a conditional obligation to buy for €30m (£25.6m).
Spurs will net a sizable profit if the obligation to buy does become activated, but the Serie A club will have to achieve some big things for it to be triggered.
The conditions Tottenham have agreed to for Pape Sarr’s purchase obligation
According to the print edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport, Luciano Spalletti’s side have agreed to pay a loan fee of €2m (£1.7m) for the Senegal international.
However, for their obligation to buy Sarr to become activated next summer, one difficult condition would have to be met.
One of those is that Sarr would have to play 50 per cent of the club’s matches this season, which he would be expected to. However, the other condition is that Juve will have to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The Old Lady finished in sixth place with 69 points last season, and were two points behind Como in fourth.
Guglielmo Vicario and Randal Kolo Muani may influence Sarr’s obligation to buy
Three players who were in the Spurs squad last season will all be lining up for Juve this term, with Guglielmo Vicario making a loan move with an £8.5m option to buy.
Randal Kolo Muani, who struggled on loan at Tottenham last season, has completed a permanent move to Turin, and will be the man leading the line for the Serie A giants.
The irony of Kolo Muani needing to score the goals and Vicario needing to keep them at the other end for Spurs to make a profit on Sarr is not lost on some Tottenham fans on social media.
