Juve reject Sturaro offers
By Football Italia staff
Juventus have reportedly rejected West Ham United and Crystal Palace offers for Stefano Sturaro.
According to the Mirror, the two English clubs are eager to sign the Italy international midfielder.
The first Palace proposal was a loan for €3m (£2.2m) with option to buy, the second a permanent signing for €12m (£8.8m).
However, it is also claimed that Sturaro and Juventus agreed to turn down any move away from Turin.
It’s rumoured West Ham – who are also fighting Palace for Juve striker Simone Zaza – are keeping an eye on the situation.
This has to be complete bullshit, based on Marotta's likeness to do loan+option deals. Sturaro, due to circumstances, has been a very frequent starter. A loan deal for a starter of a much higher repped team would be insane on its own. A lowball offer aswel.
Why would sturaro even want to go, he's italian starting plenty of games at the biggest italian team, playing himself into the picture for Conte's selection.
The claim we put a 30mil price on Zaza's head, that i can believe if the player asked to leave. But this is pure garbage.
