Juve: star defender snubs Chelsea, Everton wonderkid scouted

Juventus will utilise the international break in order to assess a number of talents playing across Europe who play in various leagues. Yesterday we reported the scouting of PSG star Thomas Meunier who will join his Belgium team mates.

Today Tuttosport have reported that another name has been added to Marotta and Paratici’s list: Henry Onyekuru who is currently on the books of Everton. Onyekuru is on loan at Anderlecht and has notched five goals in twelve games.

Conversely Juventus are keen to tie down Alex Sandro to a long term contract. The Brazilian is currently with his national team in their World Cup attempts and Tuttosport indicate that he will get a considerable extension and wage increase to not only reward the player but also to ensure he isn’t tempted by big clubs around Europe.

Sandro had been heavily linked to Conte's Chelsea but Juventus managed to convince him of the project and stay, this is viewed as a major coup by the club .This would also be a just reward for a defender who is highly rated and has performed well for Juventus on a regular basis.
