For weeks now West Ham, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund have been knocking on Juventus’ door to understand if the Old lady will it give in or not Matias Soulé. The attacking winger who showed all his talent at Frosinone tempts the palate of several clubs, but now it seems that Juventus themselves are also deciding to keep him. This is because the latest to show some interest, considering it very congenial to his 4-2-3-1, is Thiago Motta.
The Italian-Brazilian coach – as we read in the online edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport – he is an admirer of Soulé and is intrigued by the possibility of being able to test it in training camp and perhaps even beyond. The director Cristiano Giuntoli appreciates the 21-year-old Argentine at least as much as Thiago, but unlike the coach he must look at the pitch with one eye and also at the accounts with the other.
It is no mystery that Soulé, partly due to his age (born in 2003) and partly due to the qualities shown in the last season (11 goals and 3 assists in Serie A), represents a potential treasure. So big that it can only be sacrificed for an indispensable offer. No less than 35 million plus bonuses. Certainly for much higher figures than those presented so far by the English and German teams, which have just arrived – we read above Gazzetta.it – to cut the 20 million mark.
