Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are “battling for a £34 million-rated Serie A defender.”

The two teams faced off directly for the last Champions League qualifying berth in the final months of the season.

In the end, Villa successfully repelled Spurs’ challenge to take fourth place in the Premier League standings and make their league debut.

Both Villa and Spurs are anticipated to be active in the transfer market in the upcoming months, even though Villa will earn more money from that competition than Spurs will from the Europa League.

Both teams will prioritize strengthening their defenses after giving up too many goals in the final stretch, which hurt Spurs’ chances of catching Villa.

Both teams have concerns about full-back, with Villa maybe looking to upgrade from Alex Moreno and get competition at right-back.

Regarding Spurs, it is rumored that Emerson Royal and Ben Davies have been made available for transfer, which means that Ange Postecoglou’s only option at left-back would be Destiny Udogie.

Villa and Spurs are both considering their options in regards to a move for Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso, according to SportItalia.

This season, the 24-year-old has been utilized in a number of places, but he has typically been played anywhere along the left flank.

With 28 starts and 6 substitute appearances, he has produced two goals and three assists, helping Juventus reclaim the Champions League.

But Massimiliano Allegri recently left the Turin-based team, so until a replacement is named, the club will be in a state of uncertainty.

Cambiaso’s future is up for debate.
Representatives for Cambiaso are ready to negotiate a pay increase since, despite his senior status, he reportedly receives one of the lowest salary packages at the club.

Juventus does not have to move because the player has three years left on his contract, but they will want to safeguard the future of a player who is said to be worth about £34 million.

Though it seems more likely now that a renewal will occur, there is a notion that Juventus must move now to stave off outside interest.
