Bournemouth enters race to sign Tottenham-linked player

Bournemouth have entered the competition to sign Juventus midfielder Manuel Locatelli, who has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Cherries are now considering an ambitious bid for the Italian international as the transfer window approaches its end.

Recent reports highlight that Tottenham are keen on adding another midfielder to their squad before the window closes.

Michael Bridge from GiveMeSport has suggested that Spurs are focused on bolstering their midfield, with Locatelli emerging as a potential target.

JuveLive recently revealed that Tottenham are prepared to offer €24 million plus add-ons for the Juventus player, who is not expected to be a major part of coach Thiago Motta’s plans at the Allianz Stadium.

Locatelli, who previously played for AC Milan before joining Juventus, is rumored to be open to a move to Spurs.

Tottenham’s interest appears to be driven by their need for additional midfield depth, with manager Ange Postecoglou looking to strengthen his squad before the transfer window shuts.

But now that Bournemouth are in the running, things just got a lot more interesting for Locatelli. The Cherries are exploring the possibility of securing the midfielder in the final weeks of the transfer window.

Despite this, Locatelli is unlikely to favor a move to Bournemouth over a potential switch to Tottenham, which is seen as a more attractive destination.

Tuttomercatoweb also notes that Thiago Motta might prefer to keep Locatelli as a squad player rather than letting him go, reflecting the Italian’s value to the Juventus squad.

In short, Tottenham are on the lookout for another midfielder and have their sights set on Manuel Locatelli. However, with Bournemouth now in the mix, things are more complicated.

Even though Spurs might make an offer and Locatelli seems interested, there’s no solid proof yet that Tottenham are seriously going after him.
