Alasdair Gold reports that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s move to Marseille this summer will actually be a loan with an obligation to buy, and the eventual fee could be higher than first claimed.
After a summer of transfer rumours, Fabrizio Romano announced yesterday that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg would be swapping North London for France in the coming days.
This came rather out of the blue for Spurs fans, with Marseille not having been mentioned as a potential destination, despite the consistent links with AC Milan (TuttoMercatoWeb), Atletico Madrid (Mundo Deportivo), Borussia Dortmund (Football Insider), Fenerbahce and Galatasaray (Takvim), and even Fulham.
Romano originally reported that Tottenham would receive a fee of €13m-€14m for the midfielder, (£11m-£11.8m), but it appears the total fee could climb higher.
Alasdair Gold has now reported that Hojbjerg will join Marseille on an initial loan, which will become a permanent deal at the end of the 2024/25 season when his Spurs contract is up anyway.
The journalist claims that Tottenham could get €20m (just under £17m) for the Denmark international, implying that there are some performance-related bonuses in the deal.
It remains to be seen what Spurs will actually earn from the deal, but the fee appears to be somewhere between £11m and £17m.
Spurs Web Opinion:
I always said that £15m would be a fair fee for Hojbjerg this summer considering his lack of game time last season and the length of his contract.
It sounds like Spurs will get something close to that figure by next summer, so it sounds like a good deal for all parties – as long as Tottenham replace him in the transfer window.
