“We have already spoken to Juventus” data-scaytid=”12″>Juventus, but still need to whittle down a few details to complete the move,” said Sassuolo director general Nereo Bonato on TuttoJuve.
The Serie A new boys also hope to keep Boakye, who is co-owned between Genoa and Juventus.
The 20-year-old Ghanaian forward spent the last two seasons on loan at Sassuolo in Serie B, scoring 21 goals.
“For Boakye we have to wait and see what Genoa and Juve intend to do. At the moment he is at the Under-20 World Cup, so when he returns we’ll discuss the situation.
“He has done well with us over the past two years and we’d like to keep him in the Neroverde jersey.”
