Juventus are reported to have upped their wage offer to Stephan Lichtsteiner, even if they remain short of his demands in contract talks.
The full-back’s negotiations over a new deal have turned into a long-running saga, with the 30-year-old being linked with moves to Arsenal, Inter and even Roma in recent weeks.
Juventus are reported to have upped their wage offer to Stephan Lichtsteiner, even if they remain short of his demands in contract talks.
The full-back’s negotiations over a new deal have turned into a long-running saga, with the 30-year-old being linked with moves to Arsenal, Inter and even Roma in recent weeks.
The Bianconeri had been reported as €1m short of Lichtsteiner’s €3m per season asking price.
Now, though, Tuttosport reports that Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has improved the Old Lady’s offer to €2.5m per season.
While that is still short of the former Lazio man’s demands, the Turin-based newspaper believes that Lichtsteiner’s entourage has been encouraged by Juve’s willingness to move on the wage issue.
