Juventus begin talks with AC Milan for departing defender

26 giu 2017

Juventus are desperate to sign a couple of new fullbacks given that both Alex Sandro and Dani Alves are expected to leave the club in the next few hours. No secret that the Old Lady has set her sights on AC Milan defender Mattia De Sciglio who has only one year left in his contract with AC Milan and is on very good terms with Juve boss Max Allegri.

De Sciglio made his senior AC Milan debut when Allegri was in charge of the San Siro hierarchy and the current Juve boss is a long time admirer of the 24-year-old who is not willing to sign a contract extension with the rossoneri.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus executives will meet representatives of AC Milan to discuss De Sciglio’s move to the Allianz Stadium.

AC Milan’s asking price is € 15 million but Juventus do not want to offer more than € 12 million. The Old Lady wanted to offer Neto in exchange for their defensive target, but the possible contract extension of Donnarumma means the Brazilian keeper is not a transfer target for AC Milan anymore.
