Juventus target Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie as Andy Robertson competition limits minutes

Juventus are reportedly considering a January move for Tottenham Hotspur left-back Destiny Udogie, whose playing time has been restricted under Roberto De Zerbi.

The 23-year-old Italy international has made seven appearances across all competitions this season, starting four matches and playing 296 minutes.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus view Udogie as one of several options to strengthen their left flank, alongside Atalanta's Lorenzo Bernasconi.

However, no formal bid or transfer agreement has been confirmed.

Juventus are assessing potential reinforcements at left-back ahead of the winter transfer window.

Bernasconi is among their preferred targets, but Atalanta reportedly value the defender at approximately €20–25 million and could be reluctant to sell in January.

Barcelona's Alejandro Balde has also been mentioned, although a deal would be financially difficult.

Udogie represents another possibility.

Corriere dello Sport previously suggested Tottenham could consider an offer of around €15 million for the defender, although that figure has not been confirmed by the Premier League club.

His limited playing time has encouraged speculation about a return to Serie A.

Nevertheless, there is no verified indication that Udogie has requested a transfer or that Juventus have opened formal negotiations.

Udogie has faced increased competition since Andy Robertson joined Tottenham during the summer.

The Scotland international has become a regular option at left-back, while Udogie has made just two Premier League starts in five appearances.

He has accumulated 174 league minutes, with another 122 coming in the Carabao Cup.

However, his reduced involvement is not solely a selection issue.

Tuttomercatoweb reported in October that De Zerbi was carefully managing Udogie's workload following injury problems during the previous season.

That context is important when assessing his position in the squad.

Udogie remains under contract until June 2030, leaving Tottenham with no immediate pressure to sanction a departure.

A January transfer would also reduce De Zerbi's defensive options unless the club identified suitable cover.

For Juventus, the possibility of signing a young Italian international with Premier League experience is attractive, but the financial terms and Tottenham's willingness to negotiate remain uncertain.

Juventus will continue evaluating their left-back targets ahead of January, while Udogie looks to increase his playing time at Tottenham following the international break.
