As per Juve Live, as also relayed and translated by Sport Witness, Fabio Paratici's stance on signing Dejan Kulusevski for Tottenham Hotspur has become even more clear.

The Lowdown: Juve gearing for sale...

Italian reporter Niccolo Ceccarini has already shared news that the Old Lady are 'ready' to offload the Sweden international 'as early as January' to fund a swoop for Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic (Twitter).

This comes amid reports that he is a serious transfer target for Tottenham, with Tuttosport (via SW) recently claiming that Antonio Conte's side are in pole position.

Another journalist in Daniele Longo, meanwhile, recently revealed that contact has been made for Kulusevski and Spurs may be boosted further by another development courtesy of Juve Live.

The Latest: Paratici would 'gladly' sign Kulusevski...

As per the website, relayed by SW, their managing director Paratici would 'gladly' sign the 21-year-old for Conte at Tottenham.

Italian sides cannot afford his minimum €30 million (£25.4m) price tag, opening the door for interested Premier League and La Liga sides to swoop.

However, north London rivals Arsenal are also genuine contenders from England's top flight, meaning Spurs, Paratici and Conte may face stern competition.

The Verdict: Good option...

Lauded as 'explosive' by former Sweden striker Marcus Allback, the winger can also operate as an 'advanced playmaker' according to Football Talent Scout - potentially earmarking him as a possible candidate to replicate Christian Eriksen's past influence.

It is no secret that Tottenham have missed the Dane since his 2020 departure to Inter Milan and Kulusevski could come as a fairly shrewd heir given his affordable £25.4m fee.

Over the 2019/2020 campaign, his best season in Serie A to date, the ex-Parma man averaged an impressive 2.2 key passes and 2.1 completed dribbles per 90 - emulating Eriksen's numbers somewhat during his time at Spurs (WhoScored).

The case is there for Paratici to make a move, but only time will tell whether Spurs can win the race.
