Juventus are determined to sign Granit Xhaka from Basel but the competition for the Swiss starlet is extremely high.

Bianconeri director Beppe Marotta is fascinated by the elegant and strong Swiss midfielder who can cover several positions on the pitch and would be a valid alternative to Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio.

Juve have already made a promise to Antonio Conte so director Fabio Paratici has been unleashed in order to complete the deal.

But as Calciomercato.com found out, Borussia Dortmund may be ahead of the Bianconeri in this race. The German outfit is ready to offer €12M for the services of the young talent.

Like with Shaquiri, who preferred Bundesliga over Serie A, Xhaka may turn down the Bianconeri to sign for Borussia.
