Fulham star Sander Berge won't be on his way to Juventus in the coming months, GIVEMESPORT sources can reveal - with the Cottagers star having been touted for a move to the Serie A giants after impressive form in the Premier League.
GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed that Juventus are distancing themselves from a move that would see Berge move to Turin from London, having been linked with the Norwegian star in recent weeks. Finishing fourth in Serie A was enough to award them a place in next season's Champions League, and a move for Berge to join their ranks was seemingly on the cards in a move for Igor Tudor to bolster his squad.

The Old Lady are looking to offload Douglas Luiz from their ranks after a sub-par debut campaign in Italy, with Everton in particular showing an interest in the Brazilian star to come into their midfield ranks and end his Mediterranean nightmare. That saw them touted to move for Berge, who has enjoyed a decent season at Craven Cottage following his £25million move from Burnley last summer.

Sources have confirmed that there has been an expectation that an offer could arrive for Marco Silva's midfielder, despite his solo campaign on the River Thames - though sources in Turin have now played down any expectation of a move, and that there are now other plans in place to sign alternative midfielders instead of the Norwegian giant.
Berge, 27, moved to England in 2020 when he joined Sheffield United from Belgian Pro League side Genk, spending one-and-a-half years in the top-flight before relegation to the Championship. However, upon winning a place back in the Premier League with the Blades, he moved to fellow promoted side Burnley in a cut-price deal, where he massively impressed in Vincent Kompany's midfield before joining Fulham.
31 appearances last season saw him become a natural replacement for Joao Palhinha, and his passing, height, dribbling ability and calmness on the ball make it easy to see why a Champions League side would be interested. However, any move now doesn't appear to be happening, and Fulham can look forward to having him in a star-studded midfield alongside Andreas Pereira, Emile Smith Rowe and Sasa Lukic.
