Juventus tried to sign Real Madrid Wonderkid
According to a report by Tuttomercatoweb, Serie A giants Juventus tried to sign Real Madrid youngster Rafa Marin in the latest transfer window.
After a decade of dominance in Serie-A, Juventus have failed to break into the top three in their last two terms. The binaconeri have had a poor start to the season. They have won four of the first ten matches so far. With sixteen points, the Binaconeri are currently fighting for tenth position.
His record in Europe is even worse. Massimiliano Allegri’s side have lost three of their first four matches. This also includes a humiliating 2-0 loss against Israeli team Maccabi Haifa.
Now the Juventus management understands this situation perfectly. They know that the team has new faces. Therefore, they are looking for many young players who can join the club.
Juventus lost Matthijs de Ligt in the last summer transfer market. Now, 20-year-old Spanish central defender Rafa MarÃn is one of Real Madrid Castilla’s best players. He has great potential, which is why Juventus tried to sign the defender as a replacement for De Ligt.
However, Madrid was not at all interested in selling its product. therefore, the transfer did not occur. Juventus then signed Gleison Bremer as a replacement for the Dutch defender. However, they still have an interest in Spanish.
MarÃn has a 30 million euro termination clause in his contract and it seems that if Juventus want to sign him, they will have to pay that amount to the Whites.
In addition to Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain is also very interested in the Real Madrid Castilla player. And Parisians may seek to pay for his release at the end of this season.
