Juventus, talks with Leicester for Soulé's transfer

The Bianconeri are negotiating with Leicester for the Argentine: if 30/35 million euros were to arrive, they would be reinvested to bring one of Koopmeiners, Sancho and Todibo to Turin

Matias Soulé is the man around whom Juventus ' market has been revolving in recent days. The Argentine talent has returned to Turin after his loan at Frosinone, but his destiny seems to be far from the Allianz Stadium. Giuntoli, in fact, has put him on the market not because Thiago Motta doesn't like him, but because he is one of the few players with whom he can make a lot of money to finance other important incoming operations. Soulé is especially popular in the Premier League, where Leicester is the most interested team. Juve expects an offer of around 30 million euros plus another 5 in bonuses to be able to conclude the operation after Aston Villa and West Ham have withdrawn. The former English champions start with a little less, but the impression is that it can be closed in a relatively short time.


The money from his transfer would be immediately reinvested to complete an important market. The names on Giuntoli's notebook are three: Teun Koopmeiners for the midfield, Todibo for the defense and Sancho for the attack. The priority remains the Dutchman from Atalanta, with whom he has already started his retreat after missing the European Championship due to injury. There is already an agreement with the player (4 million euros including bonuses), while the solution needs to be found with the Goddess. The Bergamo club is asking for 60 million euros, 15/20 more than they think in Turin, hoping for competition that has not come forward so far. For this reason, a middle ground solution could be found, perhaps by inserting a counterpart that could interest Gasperini (Rugani's name has been mentioned).


There will also be negotiations with Nice for Jean-Clair Todibo . In this case, the aim is a loan with right/obligation to buy after saying goodbye to the Calafiori dream. The French are not convinced and are aiming high (40 million), but after the Thuram deal, relations between the clubs are excellent and both will do everything to meet halfway.


With the sale of Soulé and the increasingly likely sale of Chiesa , an attacking winger will still be needed and Juve are very far along in negotiations with Jadon Sancho . The Englishman has relaunched himself at Borussia Dortmund, but Manchester United, the owner of his contract, does not seem too keen on reintegrating him. Juve had already received the player's approval in January, but Allegri blocked his arrival. Now he could arrive on loan with a pay cut or end up in an exchange with Chiesa. But any discussion, as mentioned, can only be made starting from the sale of Soulé.
