Juventus edges closer to securing Arsenal transfer target
Juventus continues to bolster their squad, and their latest target is a player that Arsenal is also interested in signing.
The Old Lady signed Paul Pogba in this transfer window, and they hoped the Frenchman will be their midfield lynchpin.
However, he has just suffered an injury that could keep him on the sidelines until 2023.
That blow has forced them back into the market, and they have their eyes on Lucas Paqueta.
Paqueta is also Arsenal main transfer target this summer as they want to reinforce their squad after their 5th place finish in Pl saw them return to European competition.
Arsenal are waiting for an indication from the player that he is willing to move before making any official bid.
Meanwhile, Juventus are aware that he has other suitors and they have come up with a lucrative offer that clears gives them the edge to get the deal sealed.
A report on CalcioMercatoWeb claims the Italians will offer €20 million plus Adrien Rabiot to clinch his signature.
They hope this offer will impress Lyon, but the Ligue 1 side will want to take their time to decide if Rabiot is worth having in their squad.
Signing Paqueta is never going to be easy because he is now one of the sought-after players in Europe.
However, he gets to decide which is the best place for him to move to next, and that could hand us an advantage.
If we can convince him that he can develop better at the Emirates, he might join.
