Juventus are looking to tie up a deal for Russia forward Aleksandr Golovin. Golovin has emerged as one of the stars of the 2018 World Cup, standing out for the host nation in their opening two games of the competition that has seen them seal their progression to the last 16.
The Serie A champions have been so impressed by Golovin that they have made him their No.1 summer target, and have lodged a €20 million offer to CSKA Moscow in an attempt to get ahead of the competition for his signature.
Indeed, Juve have an agreement in place with the player that would see him earn €3m per season, although CSKA are hoping to push the transfer fee higher and are holding out for €25m, plus bonuses. Golovin has also been linked with a switch to Arsenal, with his father having admitted recently that the talented forward has been learning English – it’s Juve, though, that are at the front of the queue.
Wilshere, meanwhile, had been linked with a move to Massimiliano Allegri’s side, although Goal understands those reports are wide of the mark and the 26-year-old is not currently a target for the club. The Arsenal midfielder has announced he will be leaving the Gunners after 17 years with the club when his contract expires at the end of the month, although it remains unclear where he will move next.
