Italic media EveryMercatoWeb was able to obtain some intriguing information on the circumstances that Tottenham Hotspur defender Japhet Tanganga faced both during and after the summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old was strongly linked to a move to Torino at the time, but a deal never materialized, and he ultimately joined Augsburg of the Bundesliga on loan with a buyout option.
Tanganga was brought up because TMW was able to interview Roberto De Fanti, a market agent. The defender may have been engaged in a bigger trade last year, but former Tottenham manager Antonio Conte prevented that from happening, the middleman ultimately revealed. Then, he realized there were more moving opportunities this summer.
His entry into Torino was connected to an exit. When Buongiorno was set to join Atalanta, the negotiations started. Vagnati has always had a strong affinity for Tanganga, a defender who played with Conte and made his debut under Mourinho until the latter vetoed his transfer to AC Milan in 2022.Afterwards, Buongiorno chose not to travel to Atlanta, which caused the negotiations to collapse. Ultimately, we worked out a loan deal with a redemption right for Augsburg, a German team that is heavily interested in signing Premier League players.
Tanganga signed with Augsburg on the deadline day; at the time, reports were that the German team paid Tottenham €1 million for the loan, with the option to purchase him should conditions be met. These have to do with how long the team stays in the top division or how many games he plays for them this year.
The athlete has yet to play a game for his new team and is now sidelined due to injury.
