Merih Demiral continues to have great competition in Turin. On the right terms, the Bianconeri are ready for sale this summer.
Italy’s record champions Juventus Turin is according to information from Goal and SPOX ready to give up his Turkish international Merih Demiral this summer. The old lady is demanding a € 40 million transfer fee for the central defender, whose contract runs until 2024.
Representatives of Demiral met with Juve’s sporting leadership in the past few days. The 23-year-old would like to play a central role in the new Bianconeri project under Pirlo’s successor, Massimiliano Allegri. However, Juventus’ managers were currently unable to assure him of this in view of the competition with Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt.
Juventus: Bayern-Gerüchte um Merih Demiral
Demiral has played 32 games for Juventus since his 18 million move from Sassuolo to Turin in 2019, in the meantime he was incapacitated by a serious knee injury.
There have been more rumors about him in the past few months. He should be in demand with Juve’s Serie A rivals Atalanta and AS Roma as well as with FA Cup winners Leicester City. At the beginning of the year the rumor surfaced that FC Bayern Munich was showing interest in the 24-time national player of Turkey.
Demiral last took part in the European Championship finals with the Turks. Like many teammates, the defensive star disappointed and could not prevent the early elimination without winning a point in the preliminary round. In the 3-0 game against Italy he even scored an unfortunate own goal.
