Now for the defender, there is a new competition, a ruthless war for his signature. The most recent reports now have Juve among Arsenal’s most aggressive rivals. According to Calciomercato.com’s, after a long evaluation, the Bianconeri leadership has decided to move seriously for Lemar, who is treated equally on their target list with Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa, and Keita.
