During the previous transfer window, Turkish media reported that Tottenham Hotspur were interested in signing Galatasaray’s Victor Nelsson.
It was also said that the defender wanted to join the north London team and was dissatisfied with his club’s choice to reject their offer.
Fast forward to October, and Haber7 provides context for Tottenham‘s efforts to recruit the 24-year-old.
According to reports, both Spurs and Sevilla made bids of around €20 million, but the Turkish champions turned them down at the request of their manager, Okan Buruk.
This season, the Danish international has made 13 appearances [five in Champions League qualifiers] and has been restricted to a substitute role in the last three games.
Last week, the centre-back revealed his dissatisfaction with his current circumstances and stated that he will not sign a new contract with Galatasaray.
According to Haber7, Buruk has ‘huge regrets’ for not enabling Nelsson to join Tottenham or Sevilla during the summer transfer window, and the manager admitted this to individuals close to him.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side are still interested in signing the Dane, according to Akşam on September 30th. Buruk should approve the sale of the defender in the coming windows.
