Chelsea target wants Juventus move
Gabriel Barbosa’s agent has claimed that he and his client are hoping to secure a move to Juventus this summer.
Speaking in the print version of Tuttosport, as cited by Sportmediaset.it, Gabigol’s agent reveals their preferred destination as the talks between the two clubs continue, with Juventus looking to bring in the young Brazilian to replace Simone Zaza.
The Santos forward has been a long-term target for Chelsea who have expressed an interest in him. Reports from the Mirror had previously claimed a £25million offer from the Blues was on the table for the striker to consider. The player’s agent said this on a possible deal:
Yes, I want the Bianconeri.
The Serie A outfit have reportedly offered €20million for the player who has been one of the stars of the Brazilian league over recent years. The reports come just days after the Italian champions clinched an eye-watering deal for Gonzalo Higuain to join from Napoli for a massive £75million.
The player’s agent is set to meet with Juventus director, Fabio Guild to iron out the finer details of the deal.
