I also like Saponara but c'mon
"There is no offer from Juve. The club have shown interest to meet with Julian's agent. They already had that meeting. We still havent made the decision, if we r willing to sit on the table with Juve to negotiate. Nonetheless it has to be said, that Juve handled this business in a very respectable manner. We have to wait and see now. As said before, there is no offer. Besides an interest, there is nothing. That is not an easy situation for a player. It is flattering of course, if such a club comes calling and showing interest. Its not about Draxler to position himself now. He knows exactly, that he has enough time to make a decision, if the story starts to roll. Its advising, to keep calm and concentrate on the job he has with us. All the rest, time ll tell."
Then Schalke have sold Farfan to Al Jazira for around 7-10m€. No big story u say, but he really was a legend there and it makes all the supporters even more sensitive for more sales of important players. It also makes the club more independent to generate more cash.
Also, Heldt's position at the club became fragile. Di Matteo really cost him credit and the people r now very critical with him. Gladbach CEO Eberl confirmed these days, that Schalke tried to lure him away, so it became public and Heldt exactly knows now, that his job is on jeopardy. Selling Draxler for a sum below the expired buyout clause would destabilize his position again heavily, as many people of them would simply go ape shit and getting their pitchfork. Schalke already had clubs from EPL willing to trigger the clause..also Arsenal bet close to 40m€ in winter to get him..rejected.
The whole story doesnt seem to be that concrede at all, as I m pretty sure Juve wont be willing to pay, what Schalke r going to ask. Will ll soon find out, what Schalke really demand..not what the Italian troll media is reporting all over the place. My prediction stands, Schalke wont sell him below 40m€ and Draxler wont move to Juve.
