Juventus has reportedly submitted an initial offer of 20 million euros to Olympique de Marseille for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Italian club sees the Danish midfielder as a priority target. Their interest appears strong, and the Turin side seem ready to push harder in the coming weeks.

Hojbjerg has been one of Marseille’s most reliable performers since his arrival in the summer of 2024. His impact was immediate. He adapted quickly to the rhythm of Ligue 1 and embraced Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical demands with remarkable consistency.

De Zerbi trusts him deeply. The Danish international offers balance, discipline, and leadership in midfield. His influence makes him almost irreplaceable for the French club.
Because of his importance, Marseille values him highly. Reports indicate that the club has set a 60-million-euro price tag. This is a figure designed to discourage potential suitors.
Many clubs admire him, yet few can reach that valuation. Marseille knows this and intends to use it as clear protection against unwanted bids.

Juve’s First Bid Falls Far Below OM’s Expectations

Juventus, though, remain convinced that Hojbjerg is the right player to strengthen their midfield. The club believes he can bring stability, experience, and tactical intelligence.
Their 20-million-euro proposal is viewed as an opening move rather than a final attempt. It signals their intent, even if the sum is far from Marseille’s expectations.
Marseille is expected to reject the offer without hesitation. The gap between the two clubs is wide. OM wants 40 million euros more, and club officials do not plan to lower the fee. They see Hojbjerg as central to the project and essential to De Zerbi’s long-term vision.

Juventus must now decide their next step. They can raise their offer or shift their attention to alternative targets. For now, they continue to track the situation closely, aware that negotiations could become complicated.
Hojbjerg remains under contract, and Marseille holds a strong position. The coming weeks will show whether Juventus are ready to match Marseille’s demands or whether OM will resist every attempt to bring their midfield leader to Turin.
