Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was linked with a move to Serie A in the past two windows when Juventus and Napoli inquired about him. It’ll have better chances of materializing next summer. He just hired Luca Puccinelli from the agency USG Italy as his new representative, Calciomercato informed.
The Dane was keen on switching sides in January. However, Tottenham didn’t let him go as they had some AFCON-related problems in the midfield. Moreover, his valuation has always been robust despite his reduced role under coach Ange Postecoglou.
In particular, the Spurs demanded €35M to part ways with Hojbjerg. Juventus did the most legwork on him while searching for a midfielder. Massimiliano Allegri approved the signing, but the Bianconeri couldn’t find common ground on the formula and the price tag.
Napoli continue to track him. His departure will be more likely because his contract is up in 2025. There have been no hints about an extension. He has appeared 28 times this season but has started in just 6 Premier League games.
Our Take on Hojbjerg
The next window could indeed be the right one for him to transfer. Tottenham will have to be more lenient unless they are willing to risk losing him for nothing. Given his versatile skill set, he’d be a steady hand for a few sides, but not at those figures. His salary is substantial as well. Chances are he’ll move to another English side.
