There are some extraordinary reports out of Argentina and Italy claiming that Al-Ittihad offered €30m for Juventus talent Matias Soulé, but he will remain on loan at Frosinone.
The 20-year-old is an attacking right-sided winger who can also play as a support striker and first joined the Juve youth academy from Velez Sarsfield in January 2020.
He has gone from strength to strength since the loan move to Frosinone, scoring nine goals in 19 Serie A games this season.
According to transfer expert Cesar Luis Merlo in Argentina, an offer worth €30m was made by Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.
However, Sky Sport Italia and Fabrizio Romano claim that both Juventus and more importantly Soulé turned it down, as it would not be the right move for his career path at this moment.
Despite the prospect of a multi-million salary, the 20-year-old is not interested in becoming a teammate of Karim Benzema right now.
There are already many clubs interested in signing Soulé over the summer if he does decide to leave Juventus.
