Schalke 04 sporting director Horst Heldt insists there has been ‘no new offer’ from Juventus for Julian Draxler.

The Bianconeri have agreed terms with the player for a move to Turin, but had their first offer turned down for the German international.

Reports in Italy had suggested that a new bid had also been rejected, but Heldt denied those suggestions in a Press conference.

“We received an offer for Draxler, which we rejected. That’s out in the open,” the director said ahead of the Bundesliga opener with Wolfsburg.

“We received an offer for Draxler, which we rejected. That’s out in the open,” the director said ahead of the Bundesliga opener with Wolfsburg.

“We haven’t received a new offer, as has been written in the Italian media.

“We have a verbal agreement with Julian, which we made when we extended his contract in 2013, so I can’t rule anything out until August 31, but we have no intention of offering discounts.”
