Juventus will offer Claudio Marchisio an improved new contract to ward off Manchester United and Arsenal, reports suggest.
The midfielder’s current deal runs until 2016, but rumours abound that the Bianconeri will offer the Italian international a deal to keep him in Turin for the rest of his career, after interest from the English Premier League in recent days.
Tuttosport reports that the Old Lady will offer Marchisio a deal worth €3.5m per season until 2019, an improvement on the 28-year-old’s current wage of €3m each campaign.
According to the Turin-based daily, the move has in part been motivated by interest from both Manchester United and Arsenal, with the Gunners having made particularly strong enquiries, sounding out Marchisio about a potential move through a third party in recent days.
The newspaper states that Juventus have no intention of letting Marchisio depart, and the midfielder is unlikely to reject the chance to renew with the club he has played for from youth team to Champions League.
