Juventus to trigger Toby Alderweireld release clause?

Juventus are reportedly tempted to trigger the £25m buyout clause in Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld's contract.

Spurs activated a 12-month extension in the Belgium international's existing deal in December after struggling to agree fresh terms.

Alderweireld will therefore be available for a cut-price fee this summer, which The Mirror reports has attracted the interest of Juventus.

The Italian champions are said to be after two new defenders as they look to continue their domestic dominance and offer more of a threat in the latter stages of the Champions League.

One-time Manchester United target Alderweireld has played in 27 of Tottenham's 31 Premier League games this season, starting all but one of those.

Spurs could move for Sampdoria defender Joachim Andersen if they lose Alderweireld.
