Serie A star rejects Fiorentina contract extension as Juventus make opening bid

04 lug 2017

Serie A star Federico Bernardeschi wants to move to Juventus and he has rejected a chance to sign a new contract with Fiorentina. Il Corriere dello Sport confirms our previous exclusive reports claiming that the Italy star is keen to join the Old Lady who is ready to make an opening € 40 million bid to sign the 23-year-old.

Fiorentina’s asking price is € 50 million but the offer of Juventus is going to be pretty close to Fiorentina’ demands. The offer of the Serie A champions includes add-ons and talks are expected to begin in the coming hours.

The player’s agent Beppe Bozzo will meet representatives of Fiorentina today to inform them about the official offer of Juventus with the bianconeri that expect Bernardeschi to join the club by the 20th of July when the rest of the team will be in the USA for the pre-season tour.

Bernardeschi is Juventus’ priority target to strengthen their attack and the Old Lady hopes to finalize his signing in the coming hours.
