Juventus are fielding new offers from Werder Bremen for Samuel Mbangula, while Sporting CP are given a price tag for Alberto Costa.
The Bianconeri need to cut down some of the squad members who are not part of coach Igor Tudor’s plans before they can reinvest in new signings.
That includes Mbangula, who was already meant to be heading to Nottingham Forest along with Timothy Weah, until both players refused the destination.
The Belgian winger remains on the way out, as Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Werder Bremen have stepped up with a fresh offer for Mbangula.
Meanwhile, Calciomercato.it argue that Sporting CP are determined to secure Alberto Costa and are putting pressure on Juventus.
In response, the Bianconeri seem prepared to let the right-back leave for an offer that reaches €16-17m.
This is considerably less than the €20m that had been reported earlier yesterday.
It would be only the smallest of profits, seeing as the 22-year-old was purchased from Vitoria Guimaraes in January for €13.8m.
