The newspaper is unclear on whether Juve will pay that figure or keep trying to drive the price down, although it notes Beppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici “have written history” in doing the latter.
On the other hand, the Bianconeri are said to be discussing “methods of payment“ with the Spaniards, in a hint that they would be prepared to buy out the 28-year-old’s contract in instalments.
