Juventus to spend big in pursuit of Lyon midfielder

Published on: 13 October 2018

Juventus are prepared to dig deep into their coffers to sign Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, who also has suitors in the from of both Manchester clubs and Tottenham.

The 21 year-old has emerged as a towering presence in the midfield following a season on loan at Amiens, picking up four league assists for Lyon already this campaign.

Despite widespread interest in the Frenchman’s signature CalcioNews24 understands Juventus are more than willing to meet the price tag Lyon have set for Ndombele.

An eye-watering €80 million is said to be the current valuation Lyon have set for Ndombele, which could be reduced should it deter potential buyers.

Juventus have already welcomed Emre Can to the club’s midfield unit this summer, and along with Sami Khedira and Blaise Matuidi make up the defensive edge in the middle of the pitch.

Ndombele would certainly bring a domineering quality to the midfield, which the Bianconeri have arguably not had since the departure of Arturo Vidal.
