Juve met with Genoa and his representatives today to discuss a potential transfer for next summer.

It’s reported they proposed a deal worth €10m plus another €20m in possible bonuses for Pellegri.

However, now Sky Sport Italia transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Monaco have offered €20m plus another €10m in various bonuses.

The difference is that Monaco would bring Pellegri in immediately and promise more playing time, as the Ligue 1 champions have a history of focusing on very young talents.

Juventus could also be talked into taking Pellegri to Turin straight away, but he'd expect a lot of time on the bench.
