Tottenham told they sold one of the best defenders in Europe, now worth £46m
After being traded by Tottenham Hotspur for “one of the most dependable defenders in Europe,” Juan Foyth, a former Premier League misfit for Villarreal, is currently a £46 million target for teams like Juventus.
Unfortunately for the Argentina international, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen were there when he played for Tottenham Hotspur. And after joining Spurs in 2017 from Estudiantes, Juan Foyth hardly had any luck, as the team had maybe the best center-back duo in England for a large portion of the Mauricio Pochettino tenure.
And if Foyth was meant to have an opening once Pochettino was fired, it was blocked once more with the hiring of Jose Mourinho.In spite of his denials, Mourinho has never been one to throw inexperienced players right into the deep end, so it was not shocking when Foyth finally left when Real Madrid struck a £13 million agreement with the London giants.
Juan Foyth has shone since leaving Tottenham Hotspur
In his three years in Spain, Foyth has advanced significantly.
Because his client is one of the best defenders on the continent right now, the 25-year-old’s agent has convinced teams like Barcelona and Juventus that their client is worth their consideration.
Claudio Curti says Sport Italia, “Juan is without a doubt one of the most reliable defenders in Europe today,” emphasizing Foyth’s tactical adaptability, which would have been extremely helpful under current Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou.
He is a master at playing three different parts. He is a true professional and a highly complete player. He could demonstrate his abilities and play in Serie A with ease.
Moving in January is not impossible. The release clause (now valued at £46 million) remains. However, we may discuss it with Villarreal in any situation.
A World Cup winner with Argentina
Foyth was a part of the team that won the 2022 World Cup under Lionel Scaloni.
In the winter transfer window, Tottenham hopes to add a new defender to North London; players like Koki Machida, Marcell Thiaw, and Sebastian Cacares are all being connected.
A significant portion of Postecoglou’s Celtic success has already been attributed to his introduction of Japanese athletes to the United Kingdom, including Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda, and Reo Hatate.
