Sassuolo: ‘Consider Berardi offers’

By Football Italia staff

Sassuolo director general Giovanni Carnevali warns Juventus over Domenico Berardi - “in the end everyone must look after their own interests”.

The talented forward was co-owned by the two clubs, but the Bianconeri sold him outright to the Emilian side in the summer.

While there is a “gentleman’s agreement” that the Old Lady can bring him back in the summer, the Neroverdi director has warned that they’ll consider other offers.

“We have excellent relations with Juve,” Carnevali acknowledged in an interview with SportMediaset.

“[Giuseppe] Marotta is a friend of mine, but in the end everyone must look after their own interests. Berardi is completely owned by Sassuolo, there’s an option for Juventus but we’ll sort that out later.

“We’re not taking any bids yet, we’ll evaluate things based on offers. There’s an established figure of €25m but nothing is decided, Juve would also have to match a bigger bid if it arrived.

“So I’m saying that all assessments will be made in a few months.

“Could he join Inter? As a lad he was an Inter fan, but I think these things get left aside when you make professional decisions.

“It will be important for him to make his choice for technical reasons, he’ll have to choose a team where he can grow and play regularly.”
