Juventus have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign midfielder Pape Matar Sarr on an initial loan deal.
The agreement reportedly includes an obligation for Juventus to make the move permanent for £25.6 million, provided the Senegal international meets certain performance-related conditions during his time in Turin.
Sarr, who has established himself as an important midfielder at Tottenham, is now set for a new challenge in Serie A as Juventus look to strengthen their midfield options.
The loan structure gives Juventus the opportunity to assess Sarr in Italian football before the permanent transfer is triggered. If the agreed sporting conditions are fulfilled, the £25.6 million obligation to buy will come into effect.
For Tottenham, the deal could represent a significant financial return on a player who has developed considerably since arriving in north London.
For Juventus, meanwhile, Sarr’s energy, versatility and ability to contribute in both defensive and attacking phases could provide an important addition to the squad.
The transfer is expected to progress once the necessary formalities are completed, with Sarr potentially beginning a new chapter of his career in Italy.
