Manchester United stand to benefit as Juventus reportedly identify a Tottenham Hotspur 28-year-old as a ‘standout’ target for the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Hotspur<\/strong><\/a> midfielder Yves Bissouma<\/strong><\/a> is a ‘standout’ option for Serie A giants Juventus<\/strong><\/a> during the summer transfer window, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Spurs are understood to be open to offers <\/strong><\/a>for the Mali international during the current market, as he has now entered the last 12 months of his contract in North London.<\/p>\n

Bissouma excelled in a midfield partnership with Pape Sarr during Ange Postecoglou’s first season at the club, but the former Brighton & Hove Albion man experienced a downturn in fortunes last term.<\/p>\n

Bissouma still featured regularly with 44 appearances in all competitions, including the full 90 minutes in each of Spurs’ final three Europa League matches en route to the trophy.<\/p>\n

However, the 28-year-old started less than half of Tottenham’s Premier League matches, and with no contract extension in sight, a summer sale is the likeliest outcome.<\/p>\n

Bissouma asking price ‘revealed’ amid Juventus interest<\/p>\n

\"Tottenham<\/p>\n

According to Gazzetta<\/a>, Bissouma has now emerged as a top midfield target for Juventus, who is ‘more than an idea’ for general manager Damien Comolli.<\/p>\n

The Bianconeri chief is understood to possess an ‘excellent relationship’ with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy from their previous dealings, and Juve have ‘sensed an opportunity’ to make a move this summer.<\/p>\n

As Spurs are at risk of losing Bissouma for nothing next year, the Lilywhites are not demanding a premium and would apparently be happy to sell for a figure within the \u20ac15m (\u00a313m) to \u20ac20m (\u00a317.3m) range.<\/p>\n

While unnamed Premier League clubs are also rumoured to be keeping tabs on the situation, Spurs would supposedly rather sell the 28-year-old to a foreign team rather than helping to strengthen one of their rivals.<\/p>\n

However, there is a catch to Juve’s interest, as Bissouma would occupy the second and final non-EU spot in the Bianconeri’s squad after Canadian international striker Jonathan David, whose signing was confirmed on Friday.<\/p>\n

How Bissouma’s Juventus move could help Man United<\/p>\n

\"Juventus<\/p>\n

If a deal can be struck to bring Bissouma to Turin, the Malian would be expected to compete for places in a two-man midfield with Weston McKennie and Manuel Locatelli under Igor Tudor.<\/p>\n

The Tottenham man would therefore act as a direct replacement for former Aston Villa lynchpin Douglas Luiz<\/strong><\/a>, whom Juventus are looking to offload, potentially back to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/strong><\/a> are rumoured to be showing the strongest interest in the Brazil international, whom they have apparently been offered as part of a deal<\/strong><\/a> for Jadon Sancho<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bissouma heading to the Allianz Stadium would only make Juventus more receptive to bids for Luiz, thus boosting Ruben Amorim<\/strong><\/a>‘s hopes of striking a reasonable deal for a quality midfield reinforcement.<\/p>\n
