According to a report in TuttoSport (as relayed by TuttoMercatoWeb), Juventus could look to potentially offer one of their players to Spurs as a part of a deal to sign Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The report backs up what we have heard from other sources over the last week by stating that Tottenham are willing to loan out Hojbjerg to Juve as long as the deal comes with an obligation to buy for €30m (£26m) in the summer.
It is alleged that the Bianconeri would prefer an option to buy rather than an obligation, which is said to be the main disagreement between the two sides.
The outlet adds that the Italian side ‘could untie the knot’ by offering one of Samuel Iling-Junior or Matias Soule to the North London club.
It is said that Hojbjerg has emerged as the number one target for the Serie A giants after Atletico Madrid closed the door on Rodrigo De Paul’s exit.

Tottenham want £26m to sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
Meanwhile, another update by Tutto Juve journalist Mirko Di Natale also quotes the same £26m obligation to buy as the magic number that Spurs are looking for.
However, Di Natale adds that Ange Postecoglou’s men would only allow the Dane to depart once they have secured a replacement.
Il #THFC apre al prestito (con obbligo) per Pierre-Emile #Hojbjerg per una cifra inferiore ai 30mln €. #Juve sempre alla finestra, ci sono già stati dei contatti con gli intermediari tra settembre/ottobre. Gli Spurs, per lasciarlo partire, dovranno prima cercare un sostituto. pic.twitter.com/XqrafqwS0I

Spurs Web Opinion
With Bissouma and Sarr unavailable during AFCON and with Bentacnur not looking likely to return within the next few weeks, one can understand why Ange would insist on bringing a midfielder through the door before allowing Hojbjerg to leave.
I expect the Lilywhites to sign a centre-back first before turning their attention to Conor Gallagher. If Spurs are successful in their pursuit of the Chelsea man, then they would likely allow the former Saints star to depart.
