Exclusive: Juventus sound out Boca Juniors over midfielder’s availability in January
Juventus have a first-option clause to sign Bentancur and will pay a fee between € 8 and 9 million by the end of April to sign the 19-year-old playmaker on a permanent deal. Calciomercato.com, however, has exclusively learned that Boca Juniors have requested an extra € 2-3 million to allow the player to move to Juventus in the winter transfer window.
Juventus are unwilling to add more cash to their opening offer and if Boca Juniors won’t modify their economic demands the Old Lady will leave the player in Argentina until the end of the current campaign to welcome him in July.
