Juventus could lose Merih Demiral to Atletico Madrid as the Spanish club have reportedly outbid them for the Sassuolo defender.

Juve were thought to have exercised a €15m option to buy Demiral, but Gazzetta dello Sport’s Carlo Laudisa warns Atleti have offered €20m.

It now remains to be seen how binding the Bianconeri’s right of purchase is.
