Tottenham are open to paying Genoa’s €35 million asking price for Albert Gudmundsson and beating competition from Juventus.
According to Tutto Juve via Sport Witness, Tottenham’s financial power could see them leapfrog Juventus in the race for Albert Gudmundsson. The 26-year-old Serie A attacker who plays for Genoa could seek a more significant challenge in the summer, with the continental duo fighting for his signature.
Tottenham ready to pay Gudmundsson’s price
Tottenham are in the market for a new attacker with versatile qualities and is looking at options that suit their style. Ange Postecoglou needs someone who can play across the frontline with ease and also a player who could add to the numbers, who is currently missing from his final third stars.
Tottenham are interested in Albert Gudmundsson, the Icelandic star playing for Genoa. The 26-year-old Serie A attacker has had a fantastic season with 15 goals and 3 assists across all competitions at club level, which has brought the attention of big clubs onto him.
Genoa want €35 million or more for the 26-year-old Serie A attacker, and Tottenham are ready to pay up. The north Londoners have financial superiority over fellow rivals Juventus, who had been considered favourites to land Gudmundsson for some time now.
Tottenham could also offer a salary of more than €3 million a year to the Icelandic attacker to prise him away from Juventus’ reach. Hence, with their financial power, Spurs could leapfrog the Bianconeri into signing the 26-year-old Serie A attacker from Genoa ahead of the summer window.
Tottenham’s good relations with Genoa
Very recently, Tottenham conducted business with Genoa for defender Radu Dragusin and beat Bayern Munich in the race for the Romanian defender. Spurs could look to rekindle their relationship with the Italian club for Gudmundsson and may have an upper hand in negotiations from that context.
Juventus cannot be underestimated in this race for the 26-year-old Serie A attacker, as they have the respect and power in Italy to get the best players in the league. Hence, while Spurs can be seen as one of the favourites to land Gudmundsson, they should not let the Bianconeri have any room in this race for the attacker, as the Turin giants can quickly pounce on the situation.
