Juventus has reignited its interest in Tottenham Hotspur defender Destiny Udogie as the January transfer window approaches.
The Italian giants are seeking to address a shortage at left-back, according to reports from “Gazzetta dello Sport.”
Tottenham may be open to allowing the 23-year-old to leave on a temporary basis to regain match fitness.
Udogie has struggled for playing time in North London, recording only seven appearances across all competitions this season.
The defender is currently behind other targets on the club’s shortlist, including Manchester City player Rayan Ait-Nouri and Barcelona prospect Alejandro Balde, as noted by “Cult of Calcio.”
Securing a deal for Ait-Nouri could prove complicated for the Turin side, while Barcelona may be hesitant to part with Balde.
As a result, Udogie has emerged as a more attainable alternative for the Serie A club.
The Italian international’s nationality provides an added benefit for Juventus as they navigate strict financial and squad-registration requirements.
The club has already established a productive relationship with Tottenham, having previously secured loan deals for Guglielmo Vicario and Pape Matar Sarr.
Under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, Udogie has fallen down the pecking order, making a January exit a plausible scenario.
Spurs are reportedly looking for a destination where the defender can rebuild his confidence after dealing with persistent injury issues.
While no formal agreement is imminent, the situation remains a key priority for Juventus management.
Luciano Spalletti is eager to bolster defensive options during the upcoming winter window.
The club continues to weigh its options while monitoring the availability of potential targets across Europe.
Udogie remains a primary candidate for a move that could satisfy the needs of both clubs involved.
Further developments are expected as the January deadline draws closer for the Italian side.
