Juventus have offered ex-Parma striker Alberto Cerri as part of the deal to sign Ghana youth international Godfred Donsah from Italian rivals Cagliari.
The 19-year-old Ghanaian midfielder made quite a splash in his debut Serie A season, but could not prevent their relegation.
Cagliari confirm talks with Juventus and Chelsea for Donsah but have offered a player-plus-cash deal.
ââ¬ÅItââ¬â¢s a paid loan, because we cannot accept a dry loan. Cerri is a good player and if our Coach needs him in our time then weââ¬â¢ll try to conclude the operation positively.ââ¬
Donsah's agent Olivier Arthur said ââ¬ÅCagliari have just rejected a ââ¬6m offer for him, a sign they have no intention of selling.ââ¬
Today Sardinian President Tommaso Giulini held a Press conference and was asked about Donsah.
ââ¬ÅWe had a chat a few weeks ago with Juventus and Chelsea, but I am stunned by all these rumours around him. The lad needs to grow up with us.
ââ¬ÅWe have many other players on low wages and their contracts will be renewed at the right time, including Donsahââ¬â¢s.
ââ¬ÅWe received a request to attend a meeting via a lawyer, but I am accustomed to doing things a different way. As soon as the right moment comes, weââ¬â¢ll be happy to renew his contract.ââ¬
