Juventus preparing move for Tanguy Ndombele
Juventus are reportedly one of many clubs keeping tabs on Tanguy Ndombele.
The reports in Italy suggested that Juventus are preparing move for Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
The France international joined Olympique Lyonnais from Amiens for a fee in the region of 8 million euros in July 2018. His contract expires in the summer of 2023.
Ndombele has played 64 times for Olympique Lyonnais, scoring 3 goals and creating 12 assists in that time.
The 21-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in France.
Tanguy Ndombele has represented France at Under-21 level, winning 11 caps, before making his senior international debut in October 2018. As a member of France national football team, Ndombele won four caps.
His impressive performances this season have apparently caught the eye of some of Europe’s big clubs.
Fabio Paratici has always been a general manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented young players across the globe.
Massimiliano Allegri is a long term admirer of Ndombele and believes he can get the most out of the France international.
Tanguy Ndombele has the talent to play many roles in midfield.
According to Football Italia (via Calciomercato), “Juventus are reportedly keeping tabs on Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, labelled ‘the new N’Golo Kante’. According to Calciomercato.com, Juve general manager Fabio Paratici has been following Ndombele ‘for a long time’. The Frenchman is described as a midfield player with ‘versatility, quality and huge tactical intelligence’. However, the website warns a deal is ‘complicated’ as Tottenham Hotspur are on ‘the front row’, while Manchester City and Barcelona have also made enquiries. Furthermore, the Bianconeri will not rush to meet Lyon’s asking price of ’€40-50m’ or engage in a bidding war for the 21-year-old. Nonetheless, CM expects the Old Lady to make their move next summer, ‘without falling into the trap’ of the French club’s owner Jean-Michel Aulas.”

Olympique Lyonnais are reluctant to let Ndombele go, but a big enough bid could persuade them to sell.
Undoubtedly he would be a fantastic recruit for Juventus.
Juventus fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club next summer.
