Overview
- Juventus finalised the deal on Tuesday, September 1, when both clubs lodged the season-long loan with Lega Serie A and announced the move publicly.
- Juventus paid a €2.5 million loan fee plus €0.3 million in ancillary costs and agreed a possible permanent transfer fee of €27.5 million payable over three financial years.
- The purchase obligation becomes mandatory only if Juventus qualify for the Champions League or Europa League and Sarr plays in at least 50% of the matches available to him in all competitions.
- Sarr, who made 141 appearances for Tottenham and sought more regular first-team football after falling down the pecking order, has said he is excited by the move and named Paul Pogba as a Juventus role model.
- The deal reflects Juventus’s deadline-day strategy of using conditional loans to strengthen without large immediate charges, while Tottenham recoups value and frees a midfield place after summer recruitment.
