SAMI KHEDIRA

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been linked with a move away from the London club. According to Danish outlet BT, the 27-year-old Tottenham midfielder could be a replacement for Luka Modrić at Real Madrid. The Croatian international is on his last legs and the Spanish giants will need to bring in a replacement for him. BT believe that Los Blancos are considering the Danish international midfielder as a potential alternative. Apparently, they could shell out a fee of around £58 million.

Hojbjerg has been an exceptional signing for Tottenham since his move from Southampton and he has established himself as a key player for Antonio Conte. It seems highly unlikely that Daniel Levy will sanction the 27-year-old’s departure anytime soon. The midfielder has recently been nominated for the player of the month award and he will be crucial to Tottenham’s quest for silverware. The Danish international is one of the first names on the team sheet and losing him would weaken Spurs severely. (more…)

According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid have been offered the services of Lazio and Serbia midfield mainstay Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who is keen on leaving the Italian outfit this summer. Milinkovic-Savic has been with Lazio since 2015 when he arrived from Belgian outfit KRC Genk. The 27-year-old has evolved into one of the top midfielders in Serie A over the years, standing out for his powerful displays and goalscoring ability. To date, the Serb has made 294 appearances for the Italian capital club, scoring 58 and assisting 51 goals.

However, with two years left on his current contract, Milinkovic-Savic is now keen on leaving Lazio in the ongoing transfer window. The midfield powerhouse has been linked with who’s who of European football over the years, but a move away never materialised due to Lazio’s prohibitive price tag. But that could change this summer due to his contract situation and desire to leave. (more…)
