Latest: Barca, Real target won't leave Juventus until 2022
The latest shocking report from El Mundo Deportivo reveals a lot about the young Argentine’s situation, and his willingness to remain in Turin until 2022, when his deal expires.
Wanted by a number of Premier League clubs, the 23-year-old was especially pursued by Barcelona and Real Madrid, with the latter known to be particularly interested.
EMD also reveal that La Joya, who has made a spectacular start to the season by scoring eleven Serie A goals in ten games, would also cost at least €140 million.
It’s the kind of price that makes sense when one sees how much Kylian M’Bappe went for, and how much Barcelona were reportedly ready to pay for Philippe Coutinho this summer.
This is good news for fans of the Old Lady, who were very afraid in summer that the Argentine international would be tempted to leave, as have the likes of Paul Pogba and Leonardo Bonucci before him.
