Reports from Italy suggest that Juventus are ready to step up their efforts for Santos and Brazil striker Neymar, and will make a huge €30 million bid to tempt the starlet across the Atlantic.
Corriere dello Sport report that La Vecchia Signora will make a huge offer for the 19-year-old, who impressed in Santos’ 3-2 midweek Copa Libertadores victory over Colo Colo, scoring an excellent goal before being sent-off for an over-exuberant celebration. The Turin-based outfit have long been linked with the youngster, but were believed to have dropped down the pecking order after Italian rivals Milan and Inter announced their interest.
According to the newspaper, Juve would fund the transfer by hosting a comprehensive summer clearout. Mohamed Sissoko, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Amauri could all leave the Turin giants in order to make room for Neymar.
As well as his Italian suitors Neymar has also been courted by Barcelona and Real Madrid in the past year, and last August was close to joining English club Chelsea before signing a lucrative new contract with the Peixe.
