Negotiations began between AS Roma and Tottenham Hotspur regarding the potential transfer of left-back Destiny Udogie. Initial discussions faced a hurdle due to differing preferences over the deal structure: Roma sought an initial loan with an option to buy, while Tottenham preferred permanent offers. Tottenham reportedly valued the 23-year-old Italian international at approximately €27m.

Following these talks, Udogie reportedly agreed to the move to Roma, describing the opportunity as ‘perfect’. While Tottenham previously rejected a straight loan, the clubs have remained in contact regarding a deal involving a loan with an obligation to buy. Reports indicate Tottenham may accept a fee of approximately €25m.
