TuttoMercatoWeb have claimed that Juventus have a lot of work to do if they are to land Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as the Serie A club do not see eye-to-eye with Tottenham regarding the structure of the deal of the transfer fee.
Just a couple of days ago, it was reported by Tuttosport (via Sport Witness) that Spurs are willing to loan Hojbjerg to Juve as long as the deal includes an obligation to buy for €30m (£26m) next summer.
The outlet explained that the Bianconeri prefer an option to buy rather than on obligation and that they could potentially overcome the roadblock by offering one of Samuel Iling-Junior or Matias Soule to Tottenham.

Hojbjerg fee is a sticking point for Spurs and Juve
TMW have now relayed the same information regarding Tottenham’s demands but they allege that it is not just the structure of the deal that is an issue for Juventus but also the transfer fee.
The report says Spurs’ £26m asking price is ‘too high’ for the Serie A club, who face a ‘uphill road’ in agreeing a deal for the Dane.
The outlet explains that Hojbjerg is keen on a ‘change of scenery’ and that Ange Postecoglou ‘could indeed give his blessing’ for the transfer.
However, the deal remains a ‘difficult’ mission for the Old Lady and might not be possible unless Spurs are willing to accept an option to buy rather than an obligation while also lowering their asking price.
Spurs Web Opinion
I do think Tottenham would relax their demands for Hojbjerg if they can get another midfielder through the door first. Conor Gallagher will likely be the player that the Lilywhites prioritise over the coming weeks.
