Diego Simeone and Jose Mourinho both want to sign a £15m Tottenham Hotspur player ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a recent report.
The North Londoners are expected to be busy in the window, with a number of outgoings set to commence.
Ange Postecoglou has made no secret of his desire to reshape the squad and it’s been reported that there could be as many as 10 departures.
That said, it seems one may be nearing an exit.
Atletico Madrid reignite Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg interest
According to the Daily Mail, European giants Atletico Madrid have reignited their interest in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Simeone is keen to add the 28-year-old to his midfield ranks having gone close to signing him last summer.
The Atleti boss kept in contact with Hojbjerg throughout the season and is expected to return to the table with an offer.
The Denmark international is eager to move on and begin a fresh challenge, so as long as Spurs’ £15m valuation is met, a deal could be imminent.
Jose Mourinho, who signed him for the North Londoners in 2020, is monitoring him after being appointed Fenerbahce manager.
Ange Postecoglou changing the fabric
Postecoglou seems to be having a total reset this summer and appears keen to move on a lot of the players from the previous regime.
He admitted after the Manchester City defeat last month that the club’s foundations were fragile and perhaps feels a number of players don’t align with his mentality.
Such is why there will likely be an overhaul, as he attempts to assemble a squad with a winning mentality.
