Juventus accelerate chase for Tottenham’s Pape Sarr on loan

Juventus have turned their attention to Tottenham Pape Sarr, the midfielder exploring a loan that could include an option to buy, after a failed attempt to sign Franck Kessie, who ultimately joined Atalanta. The Serie A giants see the Senegal international as a chance to bolster their midfield amid injury concerns.

Loan option and rival interest

Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Tottenham have agreed to let Sarr leave on loan, with a clause allowing Juventus to purchase him permanently. Mirko Di Natale confirmed the English club’s willingness to structure the exit this way.

Juventus have already made initial contact with the London club, and Juve are confident Sarr could be a surprise signing for Luciano Spalletti’s side. The Bianconeri hope the midfielder will provide the dynamism they lack.

Nottingham Forest and Monaco are also reported to be monitoring the situation, adding further competition for the player’s signature. A host of other clubs have been linked with the midfielder, according to reports.

Signing Sarr would be a significant coup for Juventus, who are looking to replace the injured Teun Koopmeiners and Khephren Thuram. Regular football in Italy could revive his development and give Spalletti a reliable number eight.

Sarr’s athleticism has always shone at Tottenham, and his ability to operate as a box‑to‑box midfielder should suit Serie A’s demanding pace. The Senegal international’s versatility makes him an attractive option for a side seeking depth.
