In a strategic move to enhance Victor Nelsson’s market value, Turkish club Galatasaray is reportedly considering loaning him out during the upcoming January transfer window. According to Turkish sources, this decision is part of Galatasaray’s effort to increase Nelsson’s worth in the football market.
Reports from Denmark suggest that Tottenham Hotspur might have an advantage in the race to sign the Danish center-back. This potential advantage is attributed to Nelsson recently signing with a London-based agency, the Elite Project Group.
Tottenham’s interest in Nelsson dates back to the summer transfer window, where they were actively seeking reinforcements for their defensive lineup. The North London side had faced defensive vulnerabilities in the previous season, prompting a need for solid center-back additions.
The signing of Micky van de Ven and the arrival of promising youngster Ashley Phillips addressed some of Tottenham’s defensive concerns. However, a recent injury to van de Ven has once again exposed vulnerabilities in the team’s backline, making defensive reinforcements in the January transfer window a priority.
Victor Nelsson emerged as a top priority for Tottenham, as reported by Star Gazetesi. The Turkish outlet revealed that Spurs are keen on securing the services of the Danish international in the upcoming window.
Adding further insight to Nelsson’s situation, Turkish outlet Takvim reported that Galatasaray is willing to let him go in January, potentially through a loan deal. However, the Turkish club is adamant that they won’t agree to a departure for less than €20-25 million (£17.5-21.8 million).
Galatasaray’s strategy revolves around sending Nelsson on loan to one of Europe’s top five leagues, with the hope that the exposure and experience gained will elevate his market value. Spurs, with their earlier interest and current defensive needs, emerge as a potential destination for the Danish center-back.
In a recent update from Tipsbladet, it is highlighted that Tottenham might have received a boost in their pursuit of the 25-year-old. The reason behind this potential advantage is Nelsson’s recent association with the Elite Project Group, a London-based agency. This connection could play a pivotal role in facilitating negotiations between Tottenham and the player, making the Lilywhites strong contenders in the race for Victor Nelsson’s signature.
