Revealed: Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd join race for 'New Solskjaer'
Wanted by Inter, Chelsea and Juventus in Italy, the latest reports indicate that the ‘new Solskjaer’ is also liked by Tottenham, Arsenal and both Mancunian sides.
Then again, Inter have been working on the youngster’s case the longest, while there is talk of Juventus meeting with him in the coming days. Schick is starting to draw comparisons with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose season at Manchester United came to an end with a freak injury last week.
Currently engaged in talks with his club, the 21-year-old has a release clause of €25 million, which both Juventus and Inter are ready to meet. Samp, for their part, are trying to increase the clause to €40m, having previously attempted €50m.
Schick’s agent wants a higher salary than the €700.000 currently on offer.
Inter are the first team, according to the Gazzetta, to have made a move for the Czech sensation, who has scored ten goals in Serie A this season, many of his earlier ones in a substitute role.
Sporting director Piero Ausilio spoke to Schick’s entourage about his willingness to pay the €25 million and leave the Czech star in Genoa for another season, so that he can accumulate more experience.
Juventus, for their part, have assured everyone that they’re not that close, but it’s not true. Very interested, the Bianconeri are less timid than Napoli are, so much so that in Genoa there is talk of Fabio Paratici meeting with Schick’s representatives in the coming days.
