Juventus have knocked on Sporting Portugal’s door and inquired about 25-year-old attacking midfielder/winger Marcus Edwards. The Portuguese club is asking for at least 25 million euros, a non-negotiable sum! The Old Lady is set and the bill is steep. With the very likely departure of Federico Chiesa, who is not in Thiago Motta’s plans, Juventus is looking for a new winger to replace the Italian international. And apparently the Bianconeri really like the Portuguese championship, after Francisco Conceição and Wenderson Galeno, it is the turn of the Englishman Marcus Edwards, a Sporting Portugal player, to be in the good books. A substantial sum According to information from the Portuguese media A Bola, Juventus did not make an offer but only came to sound out the Portuguese club. The answer is clear, it will be necessary to pay 25 million euros to afford the services of the former Tottenham player. A sum considered too high for the Italians who wish to lower the price. Crystal Palace had already tried the trick with an offer of 15 million euros without success. Al-Nassr would also be on the case. The file promises to be thorny! Juventus approached Sporting in the last 24 hours concerning Marcus Edwards. 🔎🏴(@FabrizioRomano) pic.twitter.com/r6U2zyLR26— Juventus FR (@Juve_France) August 13, 2024
