Emil Holm, the talented footballer, has taken the spotlight in the summer transfer market of 2023. It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, when he joined Spezia for a mere 800,000 euros, he would become such a highly coveted player.
Now, top clubs such as Inter, Juventus, Napoli, Torino, Atalanta, Brighton, and West Ham are all vying for the signature of the young Swedish player. While the interest is undeniable, concrete negotiations are yet to be initiated, primarily due to the high asking price set by Spezia.
Rising demand and steep price
Despite Spezia’s relegation to Serie B, the club stands firm on its demand for offers not falling below 15 million euros for Holm. This news comes as a setback for Giuntoli and Marotta, who have long had their sights set on acquiring Holm.
The Inter CEO, in particular, is looking to secure the player on a loan deal with a buy-back option, similar to the operation that brought Bellanova to the club. Initial contacts have already been made, indicating serious intent from Inter’s side.
Juventus, on the other hand, aims to bring Holm to Turin, where he would share the role left vacant by Cuadrado with Weah. The Juventus sporting director has tasked his scouts with closely monitoring the player’s progress.
Interest from England
Beyond the Serie A, two Premier League clubs, led by De Zerbi and Moyes respectively, have expressed their interest in the 23-year-old Swedish talent. They have recognized Holm as a potential gem worth investing in. Holm’s desire to make a move is evident.
Despite enduring a soft tissue injury in the groin region, he managed to score two goals and provide one assist in 20 appearances. Now, he seeks to complete a breakout season and establish himself further.
While Inter appears to have an advantage in securing Holm’s services, valuing him at 10 million euros and offering desirable players in return, the bidding war is far from over. Only time will tell which club emerges victorious in the pursuit of Emil Holm.
