Mixed reports on Tottenham troubling Juventus for Depay

There are mixed reports emerging about Memphis Depay, who seems set to leave Barcelona, but could keep Juventus waiting amid Tottenham interest.

Negotiations have been going on for several days and it is likely he will terminate the deal with Barcelona by mutual consent rather than complete a transfer, even for a minimum fee.

He is looking for a two-year contract and Juventus have proposed circa €5m net per season, aided by the tax breaks from the Growth Decree for talent coming into Italy.

Sky Sport Italia assure that is all on track, but La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest Tottenham are getting involved and that has prompted Depay to slow everything down.

The Netherlands international had already been linked with Spurs in January and would relish the opportunity to work with Antonio Conte.

Like Juve, Tottenham have qualified for the Champions League, so would be a suitable destination for the 28-year-old striker.
