Tottenham Hotspur appears to be in the driver’s seat to secure the signature of Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino at the end of the season, according to reports from Fichajes. The 24-year-old Italian defender has attracted interest from several clubs, including London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.
Despite facing competition from Arsenal and Chelsea, Tottenham is currently deemed the frontrunner for Buongiorno’s signature. However, they will need to meet Torino’s €40 million asking price to secure his services.
Manager Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged the need for reinforcement in the central defensive department, making Buongiorno an ideal addition to the squad. His arrival would provide healthy competition alongside Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, enhancing squad depth and rotation options.
Looking ahead to next season, especially with the potential of Champions League qualification, Tottenham recognizes the importance of bolstering their squad. Buongiorno’s proven quality in Italian football suggests he could seamlessly adapt to English football and make a significant impact.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are also eyeing Buongiorno to strengthen their respective defenses. Arsenal, pushing for league and Champions League success, could benefit from his composure and defensive solidity. Meanwhile, Chelsea sees him as a potential replacement for the departing Thiago Silva, aiming to shore up their defensive line for Champions League contention.
With all three clubs possessing the financial means to meet Torino’s valuation, Buongiorno’s destination remains uncertain. It will be intriguing to see where the highly-rated defender lands as the transfer window unfolds.
