Juve: agent of AC Milan starlet contacted, Chelsea name price for midfield target

15 lug 2017

Juventus are looking to strengthen their midfield and Max Allegri has named three players he wants the club to sign to improve this Juventus side in the middle of the park. Nemanja Matic, Steven N’Zonzi and Ricardo Carvalho have been shortlisted by the Italian manager but the Old Lady has made the Chelsea star her priority summer target.

Juventus, in fact, had tried to sign N’Zonzi but Sevilla are not going to sell him for less than his € 40 million release clause and, at the moment, Juventus are not open to pay as much for the former Stoke star.

According to Sky Sport, Juventus have made contact with Chelsea to sign Matic but the Premier League giants have told the Serie A champions that they want € 45 million for the Serbian star.

Chelsea have also informed Juve that they can still lower the player’s price-tag if they agree to sell Alex Sandro for € 70 million. The Old Lady, however, is not open to sell the Brazilian.

Meantime, Juventus have also made contact with the agent of AC Milan starlet Manuel Locatelli. The 19-year-old midfielder would not be a regular starter of the bianconeri but he is a long time target of Juve DS Fabio Paratici who has personally contacted the player’s agent. Bonucci to AC Milan may not be the only business made by bianconeri and nerazzuri this summer.
