Pierre-Emile Højbjerg targeted by Juventus and Fiorentina

Olympique de Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has emerged as a primary transfer target for Italian clubs Juventus and Fiorentina ahead of the winter transfer window.

Reports indicate that Juventus views the 31-year-old Danish international as a priority to provide leadership and experience in their midfield, particularly in light of the absence of Manuel Locatelli. While Højbjerg is under contract with Marseille until June 2028, the French club reportedly no longer considers him untouchable. Juventus may need to manage their current squad, potentially involving the departure of Teun Koopmeiners, to facilitate a move.

Højbjerg's current situation at Marseille follows recent friction, including public criticism of the Danish national team's tactical management following a defeat to Norway. His market value is currently estimated at approximately €15 million.
