EXCLUSIVE ROMANO: Juventus’ offer for Matic
Juventus are waiting for a meeting between Conte, the player and his entourage. The bianconeri want to find agreement with the 28-year-old ahead of entering transfer talks with the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Marotta and Paratici would offer the former Benfica man a three or four million deal and a salary of € 3.5 million a year plus bonus. The offer would be in line with Matic’s expectations; convincing Chelsea, however, will be difficult, almost impossible.
Blaise Matuidi and Axel Witsel are the alternatives. The Serie A giants have already made contact with Raiola for the Frenchman who has a very high price-tag and will turn 30 in 2017. The Belgium International’s services have been offered to Juventus, but the Old Lady wants to sign the 27-year-old for € 15 million, rather than meeting Zenit’s € 30 million asking price.
