Agent: Sturaro ‘at least’ €20m

By Football Italia staff

Stefano Sturaro’s agent reveals ‘five teams really want’ the midfielder, including Newcastle United, but warns Juventus are demanding ‘at least €20m’.

Having long campaigned for Sturaro to stay at Juve, Carlo Volpi confessed the 25-year-old could leave the Bianconeri for a club outside Italy, with Newcastle in the market for new midfielders as Mikel Merino is set to join Real Sociedad.

“Newcastle? Yes, there are five teams who really want him, plus there are some who haven’t come forward yet,” he told Il Bianconero.

“The Premier League is a market of reference for Stefano, although we must understand the various situations with regards to Juventus.

“Now the situation is on standby, considering the current business going on. The offers are on Juve’s table, so we’re waiting on them.

“However, it’s difficult to see Stefano stay in Italy, should he leave Juve. He’s calm and he still has the confidence of everyone, but now there are other assessments to make.

“If other great players arrive, besides those already there, space must also be taken into account.

“There are assessments ongoing, which will be made after Sunday, when Juve start their preseason.

“His valuation? At least €20m.”
