Juve Set To Accept Palermo Offer For Giovinco
Juventus are set to agree to Palermo’s co-ownership offer for Sebastian Giovinco, according to the latest reports in Italy.
The soap-opera that is Amauri’s proposed move to Turin continues to wrangle on, as there are two major sticking points in negotiations.
First of all Amauri is demanding €3.75m a season in wages, but the Juventus management are refusing to pay him more than €3m.
This has opened up the possibility that the Brazilian will move to Milan instead, with the Diavoli more than happy to meet these salary demands.
The second problem revolves around the players that Palermo will be receiving from Juve as part of the Amauri exchange.
The inclusion of Antonio Nocerino and Davide Lanzafame is already agreed upon, but Palermo transfer chief Rino Foschi is refusing to close the deal until Sebastian Giovinco is added too in a co-ownership deal.
Latest reports in Italy suggest that the Bianconeri are ready to accept this offer in a bid to complete negotiations.
Giovinco is widely regarded as one of the best young talents currently in circulation, and earlier this week Milan wonderkid Alexandre Pato described the fantasista as one of the top four players in world football.
