Fiorentina seeks Tottenham's Udogie or Atletico's Ruggeri for reinforcements
Summary

Fiorentina is pursuing a deal for Destiny Udogie from Tottenham Hotspur, with Atletico Madrid's Matteo Ruggeri as an alternative. Fiorentina's director Fabio Paratici aims to leverage his connections from his time at Spurs to secure Udogie, who has struggled for playing time. Tottenham is reportedly seeking €40-50 million for Udogie, while Ruggeri is available for around €25 million. Paratici hopes to negotiate a paid loan for Udogie, linked to performance targets. The situation remains fluid as Spurs’ coach Roberto De Zerbi is against letting Udogie leave this summer.
