Juventus are not expected to make a move for Fulham midfielder Sander Berge despite pushing to sell current star Douglas Luiz in this window.
According to Give Me Sport, Juventus have ruled out a potential move for Sander Berge despite recent reports linking them with the Norwegian midfielder. The Serie A giants have distanced themselves from a potential move for the Fulham star, as they could find another option in the market to replace Douglas Luiz.
Fulham have been one of the quietest teams in the Premier League this window. While others around them are busy strengthening their squad in the market, the Cottagers are biding their time with it. There are a few links with players around, as Marco Silva’s side are likely to get into action to bring in the right reinforcements.
Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko remains linked alongside teammate Reiss Nelson. As per reports, a move for the latter is much closer than the former, while there are other areas of the pitch that Silva would like to cover. Heading into the window, Fulham’s primary objective leaned towards keeping hold of most of their existing stars, but some are being linked with other clubs.
Striker Rodrigo Muniz is a prime example, with the Brazilian attacker attracting big interest from elsewhere. Recently, there were credible reports linking midfielder Sander Berge with an exit, with Juventus the most interested party for the Norwegian international.
Juventus are pushing to sell midfielder Douglas Luiz to Nottingham Forest, while there are other Premier League sides showing big interest in bringing the Brazilian back to England. Either way, the midfielder is expected to end a fruitless one-year spell in Turin and re-join the Premier League, as the Bianconeri probably viewed Berge as a viable replacement option for the Brazilian.
Juventus rule out Sander Berge move
Juventus have no interest in signing Berge despite reports linking them with the Fulham star, who cost the West London club £25 million last summer. The Cottagers are happy with the Norwegian international after their investment in the player last summer has paid off in a big way.
The 27-year-old is instrumental for Silva to deploy his plans on the pitch, and he would he happy to keep the towering midfielder on board ahead of the new campaign. The news of Juventus distancing themselves from the £25 million Fulham star will be good news for those in charge at Craven Cottage, as it will resemble another success story in keeping hold of a key player at the club.
