According to the print edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), Juventus have begun work to try and get Tottenham to soften their stance on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
While it has been widely reported over the last month that Juve are eyeing a move for Hojbjerg in January, Calciomercato.it explained last week that a deal for the player would prove difficult to pull off for the Serie A giants.
The outlet stated that Spurs are not likely to sanction a loan move and that Old Lady might not want to pay the kind of fee that the North London club are expected to demand, given the player’s age.
Additionally, it was alleged that Massimiliano Allegri’s men could face competition for the 28-year-old’s signature from Atletico Madrid.

Juve have started work on Hojbjerg haggling
If Gazzetta’s latest update is to be believed, Juve have already started work on the deal, with the Bianconeri alleged to have made ‘contact’ over a deal for Hojbjerg.
The publication asserts that Tottenham are demanding around €30m (£26m) for the player, which is why the Italian side are now trying to soften the Premier League side’s stance.
Spurs Web Opinion
Even though Hojbjerg will have just 18 months left to run on his contract in January, I do not think Tottenham would really consider bids lower than £25m for a player of the Dane’s experience and quality. Spurs will be hoping a bidding war emerges for the player’s services.
