Mario Lemina’s time at Juventus is coming to an end with the Gabonese midfielder wanted by Leicester City and Bundesliga new boys Red Bull Leizig. The Premier League champions have made contact with the player’s agent last week and the chance to play in the Champions League next season may be a crucial factor in his final decision.
 

RB Lipsia, who are controlled by the Red Bull group are looking for high-quality reinforcements ahead of their debut season in the Bundesliga. As calciomercato.com reported last week, initial contact was made with Juventus in a Milan hotel last week with the German club offering the bianconeri €13.5 million plus €2 million bonus for the 22-year-old.  

Next weekend another meeting between Lipsia and Juventus is expected when an improved offer is expected. Naturally, it will likely all come down to where the player himself prefers to ply his trade next season with early signs suggesting it’s the Premier League club who are in pole-position.
