Mali international Yves Bissouma has been offered to several Italian clubs as he looks for a new team after leaving Tottenham.
The 30-year-old midfielder is available as a free agent and his situation has reportedly attracted interest from clubs in Italy looking for an experienced player without having to pay a transfer fee.
Bissouma has been proposed to a number of Serie A sides, with Juventus also reported to have been approached over a possible move for the Malian.
Bissouma’s availability could make him an attractive option for Italian clubs, particularly those seeking experience in midfield without committing money to a transfer fee.
However, there is uncertainty over his physical condition after several months without competitive football.
That lack of match activity is likely to be an important factor for any club considering a move for the former Tottenham player.
Potential suitors will need to determine how quickly he can return to his previous level and whether he can maintain his fitness and performances over the longer term.
Despite those concerns, Bissouma remains an appealing profile because of his experience at the highest level.
The Mali international is known for his strength in midfield and has spent much of his career competing at a high level. That background could make him a useful addition for several Serie A teams seeking an experienced player.
His free-agent status further increases his appeal.
Clubs would not have to negotiate a transfer fee with Tottenham, meaning the main consideration would be whether Bissouma’s experience outweighs the concerns surrounding his lack of recent competitive action.
For Bissouma, the interest from Italy offers a possible route back into top-level football after his departure from Tottenham.
The midfielder’s immediate priority will be finding a club willing to take a chance on him and provide an opportunity to regain his rhythm after his period on the sidelines.
There had also been interest from the Netherlands, with Bissouma previously reported to have been in talks with Ajax Amsterdam.
However, with his current status as a free agent, attention has now turned towards Italy and whether a Serie A club will make a move.
