adminPape Matar Sarr has officially brought his Tottenham Hotspur chapter to an end after the club confirmed his move to Juventus, ending a four-year spell in North London during which he played a role in one of the club’s most memorable European triumphs.
Tottenham announced earlier today that Sarr has joined Juventus on loan, with the agreement reportedly including an obligation for the Italian giants to make the transfer permanent next summer for a potential total fee of £25.7 million if certain performance-based conditions are fulfilled.
If those clauses are activated, Tottenham would secure a healthy profit on the Senegal international, having originally signed him from Metz for a fee of just under £15 million back in 2021.
Despite not always being a guaranteed starter, Sarr leaves Spurs with a special place in the club’s recent history. He famously provided the assist for the winning goal in Tottenham’s 2025 Europa League final victory over Manchester United in Bilbao.
The midfielder will now begin a new chapter in Italy, where he will link up with former Tottenham players Guglielmo Vicario and Randal Kolo Muani.
Following confirmation of the transfer, Sarr took the opportunity to send an emotional message to Tottenham supporters.
The 23-year-old made 141 appearances for Spurs after arriving from Metz, finding the net 11 times and producing several memorable goals during his time with the club.
Sarr also chose a particularly special image to mark his departure, posting a photograph from Tottenham’s unforgettable night in Bilbao, where he is pictured holding the Europa League trophy while wearing his winner’s medal.
Alongside the image, he wrote: “Thank you, Tottenham, for all the wonderful years we spent together. A special thank you to the fans for their incredible support and love. See you again very soon!”
While one midfielder has left Tottenham, another could potentially be at the centre of a dramatic late transfer development.
Just over a week ago, Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi was adamant that Lucas Bergvall would remain with the club throughout the season, despite previous interest from Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
However, that position could now be tested on deadline day.
Tottenham insider Szyexcl has claimed that Chelsea have made a surprise enquiry for Bergvall, with the Sweden international reportedly open to the possibility of making the move.
Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold has also supported the report, with Chelsea potentially looking for another midfielder should Enzo Fernandez complete a late transfer to Manchester City.
Tottenham have several options in Bergvall’s position, meaning they may be able to cope with his departure if an acceptable offer arrives.
Nevertheless, with the transfer deadline now upon the clubs, Bergvall could be facing a surprisingly dramatic few hours as Tottenham attempt to decide whether to keep one of their highly-rated young midfielders or consider a late approach from a Premier League rival.
