European giants urged to let Aston Villa or Tottenham sign £29m misfit in January

When you are looking to sell one of your players, it is always nice to find out that multiple, deep-pocketed Premier League clubs – Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham among them – are all ears.

And that certainly appears to be the case with a midfielder who, not ꩵso long ago, was being held up as a future lynchpin for one of Europe’s bonafide A-list clubs.

TBR understands that, with Juventus considering a sale and with suitors across Europe being made aware of his availability, 𝐆Nicolo Fagioli is on Man City, Aston Villa and Tottenham’s radars.

Not only tha✱t but also 🎀Fulham, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, too.

Further afield, there is interest in the £29 million-rated Fagioli from Marseille an﷽d RB Leipzig, as well as two of Juventus’ Serie A title challengers Atalanta and leagueꩲ leaders Napoli.

It has been 🎐quite the fall from grace for Fagiolo; From Serie A’s Young Player of the Year in 2023 to out o🐼f favour and up for sale around 18 months later.

So much so that a departure which seemed unthinkable no🌳t so long ago is now anything but.

Juventus urged to sell Nicolo Fagioli amid Tottenham and Aston Villa interest

“I♎f the right amount were to arrive, I would honestly sell him,” former Bianconeri right-back Sergio Porrini tells .

“In☂ this Juve there is no star. So, everyone is important♎ and no one is indispensable.”

Fagioli has not started in any of Juventus’ last five Serie A matches. He has fallen behind Teun Koopmei🐭ners, Douglas Luiz and Weston McKenni♓e in Thiago Motta’s pecking order.

The level of interest from at ho🔯me and abroad proves that Fagioli is still a footballer very higﷺhly regarded in footballing circles, at least, with offers unlikely to be in short supply heading into 2025.

TBR unders💫tands that a loan deal, with an option to make it permanent in the summer, is most likely should Fagioli leave the Allianz Stadium during the January transfer window.

reporter Luigi Garlando, meanwhile, sheds some light into how Fagioli’♌s once-glittering Juventus reputation ha♏s fallen so dramatically off the rails.

He highlights some poor reไcent cameos, not to mention the seve𓆉n-month ban he copped for breaking betting regulations just as he was building on that breakout season.

Fagioli’s Serie A performances have been very disappointing

“You have to rebuild your reputation and credibility, and you cannot allow yourself to enter [the pitch] with arrogance, missing decisive passes like the one that happened in the match against Milan,” Garlando says, Fagioli nearly setting up the Rossoner🅘i’s winner in an eventual 0-0 draw.

“He entered the fiel🐟d in a terrible way, and this is unacceptable. Therefore I believe that there would be a plausible reason [for Juventus to sell].”

Manchester City’s interest in the talented ball-player could be with Rodri’s potentially season-ending injury in mind. Pep Guardi🤡ola’s team have been ⛄linked with Martin Zubimendi too, a teammate of Rodri’s in Spain’s E🥃uropean Championship winning side.

Tottenham have looked at another Seri🦩e A playmaker in the shape of AC Milan talisman Tijjani Reijnders. The Dutchman, one✅ of the most in-form midfielders in Europe at present, looks set to stay at the San Siro, however.

Reijnders wants a new deal at AC Milan, and TBR understands he will get one too.
