Juventus ready to match Brazilian’s demands to ward off Arsenal & Man City
The former Porto star has imposed himself as one of the best left-backs in the world and has attracted the interest of the best European clubs.
Reports in England have recently linked Arsenal and Manchester City with a summer move for the Brazilian star who has recently earned his first call-up to Brazil national team.
The Gunners and the Citizens are reportedly ready to offer € 40 million for the 25-year-old but the Old Lady is not open to sell the talented defender.
According to a report of ilbianconero, Juventus had already reached an agreement with the player’s entourage over a possible contract extension. The Brazilian had agreed to sing a new € 4-million-a-year deal until 2021 but interest of Man City and Arsenal may lead the player’s agent to demand a further pay rise.
Juventus seem willing to sit around the negotiations table to match the player’s demands as they consider him a vital part of the club’s future and don’t want the talented left-back to leave at any price.
