Serie A champions Juventus have revealed that they will consider allowing Newcastle United target Stefano Sturaro to leave the club if an offer of €20m is made, according to a report on Calciomercato.
The Turin side is looking to make some money back after investing heavily to secure the services of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old central midfielder has been deemed surplus to requirements and Juventus are willing to let him leave – but only if their €20m valuation is met.
Various clubs have been monitoring the situation of Sturaro but it is understood that Fiorentina and Genoa have withdrawn their interest due to the high asking price.
Newcastle and West Ham United are the two Premier League teams that are closely linked with Sturaro but the Magpies will be hoping to negotiate a lower price.
Rafa Benitez has often complained of not being given enough funds to make the signings that he desires and that could prove to be the stumbling block once more.
No official offers have been made for Sturaro and if Benitez wants to strengthen his midfield, he’ll have to act quickly before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday.
