Transfer Updates: Destiny Udogie Draws Serie A Interest, Joey Veerman Set to Join Dortmund, Braga Targets Barcelona Teen

Destiny Udogie, the Tottenham Hotspur left-back, is reportedly a top target for Roma. The 23-year-old has become an important player for Spurs, helping the club avoid relegation battles, though injuries have interrupted his momentum over the last two seasons.

According to Sport Witness, Udogie is open to moving back to Italy. Talks are ongoing, and he would be eager to join if terms are agreed upon. Tottenham values him at £25 million (€21.4m) but prefers not to send him out on a simple loan.

Roma hopes to overcome this by offering a loan with an obligation to buy. Udogie told manager Roberto De Zerbi he will only leave if the new club feels perfect for him. His recent contract extension ties him to Tottenham until 2030, giving Spurs strong control in any negotiations.

Borussia Dortmund Secures Joey Veerman Transfer

Borussia Dortmund has reached an agreement to sign midfielder Joey Veerman from PSV Eindhoven. The German club activated Veerman’s release clause of €18.4 million (£21.5m), and the 27-year-old is set for a medical before signing a five-year deal.

This move signals Dortmund’s intent to strengthen their midfield ahead of the transfer deadline. Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirms financial details are finalized, and Veerman is ready to leave PSV after helping them win the Eredivisie title last season.

Veerman is known for his ability to control tempo, excellent vision, and passing range. He assisted 14 goals during the 2025-26 campaign, proving his talent at unlocking tight defenses.

Braga Near Deal for Barcelona Midfielder Tommy Marques

Braga is close to securing a permanent deal for 19-year-old Barcelona midfielder Tommy Marques. A defensive midfielder developed at La Masia, Marques has struggled for first-team opportunities due to intense competition.

Fabrizio Romano reports that both clubs are finalizing terms for a package worth around €8.6 million (£10m), with up to €1.7 million (£2m) in performance bonuses. Barcelona has accepted the offer as part of their efforts to improve finances.

Despite interest from two German clubs, Marques prefers Braga and is awaiting the final go-ahead from his representatives before the move is completed.
