Tottenham now decided against signing a player on a permanent basis

Kulusevski’s loan stay at Tottenham ends this summer, with the club having the option to make the signing permanent for £30.4 million (Fabrizio Romano).

According to several Italian publications, the North London club is hesitant to pay the aforementioned cost for the Swede this summer (Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness).

CMW.it has now added that the Lilywhites have not been convinced by Dejan Kulusevski’s performances this season and have already chosen not to redeem him’ this summer.

The publication adds that the 23-year-old will thus return to Juventus this summer but with the Bianconeri also unwilling to keep him, he could be on the move once again.

The report says that AC Milan have expressed an interest in signing Kulusevski, with the Rossoneri said to have identified him as a potential replacement for Brahim Diaz.

However, it is explained that the former Atalanta star would first have to renew his contract before leaving the Allianz Stadium as his current deal in Turin is set to run out in 2024.

According to reports, any move to the San Siro for Kulusevski would have to be a loan with a buy option.

Even if Tottenham believes the £30 million sum for Kulusevski is excessive, one would expect the team to meet down with Juve and negotiate a lower fee.

Despite his recent troubles, I believe the Swede would be a steal at that price, and I would be astonished if the North London club did not exercise the option.
