Juventus have reportedly raised their offer to Memphis Depay as they look to beat out competition from Chelsea for the Barcelona forward.
The Bianconeri are desperately looking to add a new centre forward to their squad following the departure of Alvaro Morata last month. Despite Massimiliano Allegri’s insistence, an agreement for the Spaniard’s return couldn’t be reached with Atletico Madrid, forcing the club to pursue other targets.
Depay quickly emerged as a target but reports today suggested that Chelsea were interested in picking up the Dutchman, who is on the way out of Barcelona.
Gianluca Di Marzio details how Juventus have raised their contract offer to Depay in a bid to reach an agreement and beat out the interested Chelsea. The 28-year-old Dutch striker is currently working on a severance agreement with Barcelona, allowing him to join a new club.
Depay will reportedly be offered a two-year contract and the Old Lady are hoping to finalise things sooner rather than later.
