In the last-minute transfer market negotiations, Fulham have emerged as a competitor willing to steal a transfer from Atlético Madrid: midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. With Marco Silva at the helm, Fulham are keen to add to their Premier League-experienced squad and Hojbjerg has become a priority target.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is expected to leave Tottenham before the transfer window closes this Friday and his future has been speculated about in recent weeks. Alongside Fulham, Manchester United have also expressed interest in the player, prompting Atlético Madrid to resume talks with Spurs over a potential deal.
Fulham want to steal a transfer from Atlético de Madrid
The La Liga club are aiming for a loan-buy option at the end of the season but Tottenham appear more inclined to secure a permanent transfer for the veteran 28-year-old Danish midfielder.
However, Fulham are unwilling to be left behind in this battle for Hojbjerg and are willing to buy the player outright rather than wait another year for it. Marco Silva’s side want to add experience and quality to the midfield and Hojbjerg would fit that description perfectly.
The competition for Hojbjerg’s signing promises to get intense in the final hours of the transfer market. With Atlético Madrid and Fulham scrambling to secure his services, the Danish midfielder’s fate remains uncertain. The final decision could depend on whether Spurs are willing to loan the player out or prefer a permanent transfer.
