Juventus set to offer €40m for Batshuayi

He may not be in the best form over the last few months, but Michy Batshuayi still has some heavyweight admirers.
Juventus are the latest side to be linked with a move for the Marseille hitman, with Calciomercato [as per Goal] reporting that the Serie A leaders are set to offer between €30 and 40 million to sign the Belgian international this summer.
However, Juve might have the advantage over the London pair, due to the presence of Chilean wideman Mauricio Isla, who’s currently on loan at Marseille from Juve, and may be used as a bargaining tool in negotiations between the two clubs.
The 22-year-old has scored 13 goals in 30 Ligue 1 outings this season, as OM have steadily overcome their poor start to the season. He managed seven goals in 25 showings last term, but has scored only once in his last nine league showings.

"He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
