Reports indicate that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is advocating for Tottenham Hotspur to mitigate their asking price to expedite his transfer to Atletico Madrid in the ongoing summer window.
As suggested by the Spanish media house Marca, Hojbjerg is one of the potential replacements being considered by Atletico if their deal with Marco Verratti from PSG falls through.
Probability of Hojbjerg’s transfer to Madrid has strengthened this summer amidst uncertainties about his continued stay at Tottenham.
The Daily Mail’s Thursday report indicates that Hojbjerg is nearing a deal with Diego Simeone’s squad, although the transfer fee is yet to be finalized between Spurs and Atletico for the 27-year-old player.
Spanish sources suggest Hojbjerg is encouraging Tottenham to reevaluate their financial expectations.
Hojbjerg Urges Spurs for Sale
Marca states that Hojbjerg is a viable backup for Atletico if they fail to acquire Verratti this summer.
It is understood that the Spurs’ midfielder is continually urging his club to facilitate his transition to the Spanish team.
Hojbjerg, indeed, is interested in the transfer opportunity that allows him to continue playing in the Champions League this season.
Since his move from Southampton in 2020, Hojbjerg has been a consistent contributor for Spurs over three seasons.
Brought by the former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho – who hailed him as a ‘phenomenal’ player – the Danish midfielder’s recent form has been somewhat unimpressive after the year’s turn.
Concerns have also been raised on his adaptability to the play style of Ange Postecoglou, the new coach, potentially prompting Spurs to cash him out this summer.
With just two years remaining on his current contract and at the age of 27, it seems a suitable juncture for Tottenham to let him go.
