Who could sign Danny Rose? Five places where the England international could end up?

The summer transfer window in England was closed on August 9th. Premier League clubs can no longer sign new players, but with the transfer window open elsewhere in Europe, Premier League clubs can still sell players till August 31.

One player whose future is still up in the air is Tottenham left-back Danny Rose. Rose’s uncertainty over his future started after he publically criticised the club’s ambition and wage structure in 2017. He later apologised. But it was too late too little.

He struggled for playing time last season, and had to settle for a place behind Ben Davis. He managed just 10 games after returning from the knee injury he suffered back in January 2017.

According to the Daily Mirror, Tottenham are ready to sell Rose, even though they can’t sign a replacement. The report suggests that the club is looking for a bid of around £50 million for the player.

Here is a list of clubs that could sign the player before the deadline.


#1 Paris Saint-Germain

Can Tuchel offer an escape route for Rose?

Despite all their investment and their domestic domination, PSG are yet to make any real impact in the Champions League. Rose could be the last piece of the jigsaw that could see them finally winning the Champions League.

PSG have been reportedly chasing the England international for some time now, and this summer could be the ideal one. With Rose out of favour at Tottenham, PSG can pounce on the opportunity to sign one of the best left-backs in the world.

Moreover, PSG are also one of the few clubs that can match Tottenham’s valuation. With Layvin Kurzawa facing an uncertain future at the club, PSG might well be tempted to go for the England international.

#2 Schalke

Schalke were linked with a season-long loan deal for Rose

Schalke finished second in the Bundesliga last season. They are now set to celebrate their return to the Champion League by splashing the cash in the market. They already signed several players, including Mark Uth from TSG Hoffenheim, Salif Sané from Hannover 96, and Omar Mascarell from Real Madrid. And they are not done according to the reports.

On the deadline day, it was reported that Schalke were given permission to talk to Rose regarding a season-long loan deal. There are also reports emerging that Schalke no longer want Rose as they think he is too expensive.

But since transfer deadline day always includes some drama, don’t be surprised if you saw a picture of Danny Rose in Schalke’s blue colour.

#3 Juventus

Max Allegri may be looking to add a left-back to his squad

With uncertainty over Alex Sandro’s long-term future, and Real Madrid’s refusal to sell Marcelo, should Juventus target Danny Rose? The answer is yes, why not?

Juventus have done very well so far to keep Alex Sandro on their books. He has been linked with a move to Premier League clubs Manchester United and Chelsea during last two summer transfer windows.

Lately, reports says that the French champions PSG are targeting the left-back and are willing to offer upwards of €60 million for the player.

Should Juve decide to cash in on the left-back, they should look no further than Tottenham for a player who can replace Sandro.

#4 Inter Milan

FC Internazionale v Cagliari Calcio - Serie A
Spalletti has splashed cash in the market

Like Schalke, Inter have shown their ambition by splashing the cash in the market. They have made some high profile signing, such as Radja Nainggolan from AS Roma, Sime Vrsaljko from Atletico Madrid, Keita Baldé from AS Monaco and Stefan de Vrij from Lazio.

Should they feel that they need further depth at left-back despite signing Kwadwo Asamoah on a free transfer, then Rose is the one they should go for. He has all the quality they want and has the experience of playing in the competition.

One stumbling block might be the transfer fee. But with Tottenham keen on selling the player, Inter can negotiate a lower transfer fee for the player.

#5 Bundesliga clubs

A fit and in form Danny Rose is an asset to any club in the world. His lightning pace and trickery can cause problems to any defence, while he is also an excellent defender.

We chose Bundesliga over other leagues because we feel Rose’s playing style matches them the most. The Bundesliga’s quick pace and attacking intent suits perfectly with Rose’s personal style.

Going to this season Rose will have only one thing in my mind, regaining his spot in the England national team. So he will be desperate to prove himself to Gareth Southgate. This means he is going to have to be on top of his game, and we sure many clubs in Germany can benefit from signing him.
