Tempted by Many Bids, Juventus Still Reluctant to Release Merih Demiral

Juventus have reportedly gotten many offers that tempt faith to release Merih Demiral. But the reigning champions of Serie A are brave enough to hold back to release them.

Demiral itself is not the first choice in the back line of the club nicknamed the Bianconeri. He lost competitiveness with Leonardo Bonucci and brand-new defender who brought in expensive from Ajax Amsterdam, Matthijs De Ligt.

Because of this basis, various rumors about Demiral's move from Turin were scattered among the public. A number of European giants are reportedly ready to accommodate the Turkish player.

Then by the coach, Maurizio Sarri, Demiral began to be diligently lowered throughout December 2019 yesterday. And unexpectedly, the former Sassuolo player appeared professional and played neatly in every match.

Demiral Not For Sale

It is undeniable that there is great potential in Demiral at this time. He was brave enough to make a tackle like a veteran defender and current captain of Juventus, Giorgio Chiellini.

And after seeing his performance, Juventus are reportedly so reluctant to release it to other clubs. Although the report released by Tuttosport and Sky Sport Italia states that the player has received many offers worth 40 million euros.

Manchester City is a club that is rumored to be keen enough to get the 21-year-old man's signature. In addition, there are also Bayer Leverkusen, Leicester City, Schalke 04, and Borussia Dortmund in line.

Rugani Has a Chance to Move?

Demiral's neat appearance had a bad impact on other Juventus young defender Daniele Rugani. Players who have also strengthened Empoli are now in the bottom position in the order of choice to fill the heart of defense.

Maurizio Sarri's presence did not help either. As is known, Sarri is a figure who raised the prestige of Rugani when he was in Empoli first.

Rugani is believed to have the opportunity to move in January. But the possibility is quite small because Juventus are said to want to see the condition of Chiellini who is undergoing a recovery period after the ACL injury.
