Tottenham tell Galatasaray to pay £8.5m to sign 28-year-old this summer

Tottenham Sets €10m Price Tag for Hojbjerg as Galatasaray Negotiates

Tottenham Hotspur has reportedly set a €10m (£8.45m) asking price for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, attracting interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. However, negotiations may face hurdles due to wage demands from the Danish midfielder.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has played a pivotal role at Tottenham, is expected to seek a transfer this summer. Sources indicate that Hojbjerg has instructed his representatives to prioritize clubs where he can consistently compete for titles. Although the Turkish Super Lig does not rank among Europe’s top five leagues, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce’s interest suggests Hojbjerg could still find a competitive and ambitious environment in Turkey.

Tottenham has already engaged in preliminary discussions with Galatasaray, communicating their €10m (£8.45m) valuation for Hojbjerg. For Galatasaray, this fee is within a manageable range. However, the challenge lies in meeting Hojbjerg’s wage expectations. The midfielder is reportedly seeking a four-year contract worth €5m per year, totaling €30m for the duration of the contract. This significant financial commitment might prompt Galatasaray to negotiate for lower wage demands to facilitate the transfer.

From Tottenham’s perspective, there is an expectation that Hojbjerg could attract higher offers from more prominent European clubs.
