Juventus are keen on signing Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi this summer, according to reports.

 

The Bianconeri were also said to be keen on Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi, but this morning’s edition of La Stampa states that Bernardeschi has now ousted Berardi as the number one target for the summer.

 

With the 23-year-old in fine form in the number 10 role for the Viola, interest is said to have shifted his way, but there will be competition from both Inter and Chelsea, both of whom are keen on the Carrara-born player.

 

Bernardeschi hit the headlines with a wonderful free-kick against Borussia Monchengladbach earlier this month but is unlikely to be in action this evening when Fiorentina take on Torino due to a bruised ankle.

Buffon drops Bernardeschi hint

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has hinted that Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi will join the club this summer.

 

The Bianconeri have already been linked with a move for the 23-year-old, with reports suggesting that he is now the preferred option over previous target Domenico Berardi.

 

Buffon hails from Carrara, the same Tuscan town as the Viola star, with the pair known to enjoy a good relationship.

 

The goalkeeper was a guest on the show alongside Sanremo festival winner Francesco Gabbani, who is also a native of the town.

 

"This is the good air of Carrara," Buffon smiled in an interview with JTV. "Maybe Bernardeschi will join us next year."

Juventus are still keen on Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi, according to reports.

 

This morning’s edition of Tuttosport claims that the Bianconeri are ready to offer €40m plus bonuses for the 23-year-old this summer.

 

Such an offer may be unlikely to convince owners Andrea and Diego Della Valle, who are said to be looking to include a €100m release clause into the player’s new contract.

 

Discussions are ongoing, with the Italian international reportedly reluctant to agree to such a high clause, instead looking to go with a more reasonable €60-70m figure.

 

Despite the success of the Bianconeri, the Tuscany-born player may be reluctant to make the move to the Viola’s most fierce rivals, and recently refused to be photographed with a Juventus scarf at the opening of the Viareggio cup.

TRANSFER RUMOUR: JUVENTUS SET TO TABLE €40M OPENING BID

FOR CHELSEA, INTER MILAN TARGET FEDERICO BERNARDESCHI

http://www.thehardtackle.com/news/2017/03/17/transfer-rumour-juventus-set-to-table-e40m-opening-bid-for-chelsea-inter-milan-target-federico-bernardeschi/

Mar 17, 2017

Juventus are reportedly set to table an opening €40 million bid for Federico Bernardeschi, who has also been linked with Chelsea and Inter Milan.

 

Italian publication Calciomercato have reported that Juventus are preparing an opening offer to sign Federico Bernardeschi from Fiorentina. The Italian winger is also being closely followed by Chelsea and Inter Milan.

Bernardeschi is one of the most exciting prospects to have emerged out of Italy in recent years, and he has been making quite the impression having risen through the ranks at Fiorentina. Having established himself as a key figure for La Viola, the 23-year-old is enjoying his best season in 2016/17.

Bernardeschi has racked up some impressive numbers for Fiorentina this term, scoring 13 goals while providing five assists in 35 appearances in all competitions. That is a direct contribution to a goal every 130 minutes, and his stellar performances have resulted in clubs making a beeline for his signature.

While the likes of AC Milan, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have had Bernardeschi monitored on several occasions, Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan have been linked heavily with him, making it a three-way battle for the Italian.

Chelsea have been tracking the progress of Bernardeschi for a long time now, with Antonio Conte believed to be an admirer of his compatriot’s talents. The Italian tactician is reported to be seeking quality additions in attack for the summer, and has reportedly set his sights on the young winger.

The Blues were even reported to be planning a €45 million swoop for Bernardeschi in January before they decided to wait till the summer. The player is a perfect fit in Conte’s system with his electric burst of pace and adeptness to play across the front three, as well as a wing back.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan are also eyeing Bernardeschi for a summer move with the Suning Group eager to provide Stefano Pioli with a transfer warchest in the summer to build a formidable squad. And they have identified Bernardeschi as the perfect player to lead the Nerazzurri into the long-term future.

Juventus are the third team in the fray for Bernardeschi, with the Serie A champions reported to be eager to recruit a pacy left-footed winger in the summer. On evidence from the current campaign, the Fiorentina man is likely to prove as an upgrade and a long-term option compared to Juan Cuadrado, the current first-choice for Allegri.

And it looks like Juventus are the club who have taken the first decisive step towards landing Bernardeschi, as they are ready to make an opening €40 million bid for him in the summer.

The report further adds that the player himself prefers a move to Turin, with the Bianconeri offering him a double-your-pay €4 million-a-year deal. However, Fiorentina are only willing to listen to offers in upwards of €60 million, meaning Juventus and other suitors will have to improve their offers in order to secure his services come June.

Allegri wants Bernardeschi?

Mar 22, 2017

 

Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi continues to be a reported target for Juventus, along with Angel Di Maria of PSG.

 

According to Tuttosport, the Viola number 10 has been specifically asked for by Coach Massimiliano Allegri, a request the newspaper links to reports that he is ready to stay on in Turin.

 

The 23-year-old Italian international is yet to agree a contract renewal with Fiorentina, with claims that Inter and Bayern Munich are also watching the youngster.

 

Di Maria is said to provide an alternative idea for the Old Lady, as Tuscany-born Bernardeschi may be reluctant to join the Viola’s fiercest rivals this summer.

Report: Bernardeschi rejects contract

 

 

http://www.football-italia.net/100184/report-bernardeschi-rejects-contract

 

 

Mar 25, 2017

 

According to the latest reports, Federico Bernardeschi and his agent have decided to reject a new Fiorentina contract.

 

The creative midfielder’s current deal runs to June 2019 and he had been offered a new improved salary.

 

Newspaper Libero claims Bernardeschi and agent Beppe Bozzo will turn down the proposal from the Viola.

 

This opens the door for clubs such as Inter, Juventus, Milan and Chelsea to prepare offers for Bernardeschi.

 

He just turned 23 and has scored 13 goals with five assists in 35 competitive games for the Viola this season.

 

Bernardeschi, who came up through the Fiorentina youth academy, already has seven senior caps for Italy.

 

He was forced to leave the Azzurri training camp this week due to an ankle injury.

Juventus-Inter for Bernardeschi

 

 

http://www.football-italia.net/100284/juventus-inter-bernardeschi

 

 

Mar 28, 2017

 

Juventus are reportedly challenging Inter for Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi.

 

The Italian international has scored 13 goals for the Viola this season, as well as providing five assists.

 

It was thought that the Nerazzurri were leading the race for his signature, but Tuttosport is reporting that Juve are trying to outdo them.

 

Given that the Beneamata will be under Financial Fair Play constraints over the summer, the Old Lady could negate their advantage.

 

However, it’s widely thought that Bernardeschi will spend at least one more season in Florence, while Fiorentina are very unlikely to want to sell to the Bianconeri.

Juventus step up Bernardeschi pursuit?

Mar 30, 2017

 

Marko Pjaca’s injury will reportedly see Juventus step up their pursuit of Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi.

 

Pjaca is out for around six months after suffering a cruciate ligament injury on international duty with Croatia.

 

The Bianconeri had already been linked with Bernardeschi, but Tuttosport is reporting that they will now intensity their efforts to sign the Italian international.

 

The 23-year-old is yet to agree a new contract with the Viola, with his current deal running until 2019.

 

As reported by the newspaper, there has already been tentative contact with his entourage, and talks could intensify in the coming weeks.

 

Bernardeschi is seen as an ideal signing, as he’s young and can play in almost any formation.

Fiorentina to tie down Bernardeschi

Apr 4, 2017

 

It’s reported that Fiorentina are offering Federico Bernardeschi a five-year contract worth €2.5m per season.

 

The winger is under contract until the summer of 2019, but has been linked with the likes of Inter and Juventus.

 

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Viola are determined to tie down one of their most promising players, and are offering five-year contract worth €2.5m per season.

 

It’s thought Bernardeschi is open to signing a new deal, but much will depend on how much ambition the club shows on the transfer market.

PSG join Bernardeschi chase

Apr 15, 2017

 

Paris Saint-Germain are the latest candidates for Fiorentina and Italy talent Federico Bernardeschi.

 

The 23-year-old is hot property for this summer after scoring 13 goals with five assists in 36 competitive games.

 

According to reports coming in from France, PSG are also interested and currently lining up a proposal for Bernardeschi.

 

They join a long list of suitors, including Inter, Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Barcelona.

 

He primarily plays on the right wing, but can also work on the left or in a more central supporting role.

 

Bernardeschi is under contract with Fiorentina until June 2019 and the price-tag is in the region of €40m

Bernardeschi: Inter or Chelsea

 

 

http://www.football-italia.net/101473/bernardeschi-inter-or-chelsea

 

 

Apr 22, 2017

 

Federico Bernardeschi will only leave Fiorentina for Inter or Chelsea, so is due to snub their rivals Juventus, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

 

The Number 10 is considering a new contract with the Viola worth €2.7m per year and without a release clause.

 

It’s reported Chelsea are offering double those wages to work with former Italy Coach Antonio Conte.

 

Inter are also determined to snap up Bernardeschi for next season along with Sassuolo star Domenico Berardi, as they try to form a more Italian core to the squad.

 

These two clubs seem to be the only two real options, as the player has decided not to offend the Fiorentina fans by joining their arch rivals Juventus.

 

While it would be a reunion with Gigi Buffon, who is from the same town – Massa Carrara – as Bernardeschi, as a Viola youth academy product, he could not go to Juventus.

Schick, Bernadeschi want Juventus

May 29, 2017

 

It’s reported both Patrik Schick and Federico Bernardeschi are pushing to join Juventus this summer.

 

Sampdoria striker Schick has a €25m release clause in his contract, and is attracting interest from all over Europe thanks to 13 goals in his first season in Italy, in just 15 starts.

 

According to Tuttosport, the Czech international doesn’t want to stay on loan in Genoa for another year, so the Bianconeri could activate his release clause without negotiation with the Blucerchiati.

 

The newspaper also reports that Bernardeschi is refusing to renew with Fiorentina, and that he is also keen to move to Turin.

 

However, the Viola are extremely reluctant to sell to the Old Lady, so it would take an offer of at least €40m.

Juve €50m for Bernardeschi

 

 

http://www.football-italia.net/103422/juve-€50m-bernardeschi

 

May 31, 2017

 

Reports suggest that Juventus will make a €50m offer for Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi after the Champions League final.

 

According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have no intention on giving up their pursuit of the player, despite the rivalry between them and the Tuscan club.

 

Local newspaper La Nazione also suggests that Juve will use Gianluigi Buffon as a way to persuade the player to join the club, with the pair both originating from the Tuscan town of Carrara and enjoying a close relationship.

 

That report indicates that the champions are not the only side to want the 23-year-old however, with Chelsea and PSG also pressing for the winger.

 

Despite lengthy talks, the talented youngster is yet to agree a contract extension with the Viola, with the club said to be offering a renewal worth €2.5m per season.

Bernardeschi accepts Inter?

 

 

http://www.football-italia.net/103837/bernardeschi-accepts-inter

 

 

Jun 8, 2017

 

Fiorentina’s Federico Bernardeschi has reportedly accepted a move to Inter, preferring them to Juventus.

 

The winger has been offered a new contract by the Viola, with his current deal set to expire in 2019.

 

However, the Italian international is yet to sign on the dotted line, and it looks increasingly likely that he’ll leave.

 

Now Premium Sport is reporting that the Nerazzurri have a deal with Bernardeschi, offering him €5m per season.

 

It’s thought the 23-year-old would prefer a move to San Siro than to Juve.

Juventus push for Bernardeschi

 

 

http://www.football-italia.net/104037/juventus-push-bernardeschi

 

Jun 12, 2017

 

Reports suggest Juventus are still pushing for Federico Bernardeschi, but Fiorentina don’t want to sell to them.

 

The Italian international seems likely to leave the Viola this summer, as he has so far refused to sign a new contract.

 

Sky reports that the Bianconeri are keen to bring him to Turin, but relations between two clubs are not good.

 

In addition, selling one of their key men to the Old Lady would not go down well with the Fiorentina fans, so the Gigliati are extremely reluctant to do a deal.

 

Therefore, Bernardeschi’s agent is working as an intermediary to try and bridge the gap between the two sides.

 

Even if some sort of cordiality could be achieved, the winger would cost around €40m.

Juventus in pole position for Federico Bernardeschi

Juventus are leading in the race to sign Fiorentina forward Federico Bernardeschi.

The Bianconeri have been following the talented young winger for some time and meets the criteria that Marotta and Paratici are always on the look out for: Young, Italian and with great scope for improvement along with the ability ti play in multiple positions.

Bernardeschi has yet to sign a contract extension with La Viola and is currently heading to the U21 European Championships, however reports in the Italian press suggest that the player will make his intentions clear in the coming weeks.

Tuttosport report that Juve are in constant contact with the players entourage, however Fiorentina are reluctant to deal with the Bianconeri and would prefer to sell the player abroad. The suggestion is that if the player prefers to move to Juventus, the club can begin direct negotiations with Fiorentina.

La Stampa report that Juventus are ahead of their competitors for the players signature, and that the Bianconeri project is ambitious: To sign both Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi. It would be a difficult to pull off, but the suggestion is that a player could leave to help facilitate the deal, most likely Juan Cuadrado.

Juventus ready €40m offer for Chelsea target Bernardeschi

 

 

The 23-year-old has attracted interest from the Premier League as well as his

homeland, but the Serie A champions will make the first move to sign him

Juventus are ready to offer €40 million plus bonuses for Fiorentina striker Federico Bernardeschi, Goal understands.

 

The Serie A champions are looking to invest in their attack in the close-season and have targeted Bayern Munich's Douglas Costa, while Patrik Schick's €25m move from Sampdoria is expected to be confirmed.

 

They are set to add winger Bernardeschi to their team as well, who has convinced director Giuseppe Marotta to enter negotiations with an initial offer. Although the Viola have set an asking price of €50m, Massimiliano Allegri's side are looking to narrow the gap with bonuses.

 

 

The two sides do not have a great relationship, but the presence of the 23-year-old attacker's agent, Beppe Bozzo, could smooth talks.

 

Bernardeschi is contracted to Fiorentina until June 2019, but is not interested in signing a new contract with the club he joined at the age of nine. 

 

The Italy international, who scored 11 goals in 32 Serie A appearances for Fiorentina, has also attracted interest from Inter and Chelsea.

 

Juventus are set for a busy summer, with Dani Alves joining Manchester City and Leonard Bonucci and Alex Sandro the subjects of interest from Chelsea, while they are open to selling Juan Cuadrado.

 

As well as Schick, Douglas Costa and Bernardeschi, they have made Manchester United's Matteo Darmian a top target, while Steven N'Zonzi is set to join.

Federico Bernardeschi, Danilo have emerged

as Juventus’ main summer targets

 

 

https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com/2017/6/25/15869702/federico-

bernardeschi-danilo-juventus-fiorentina-real-madrid-2017-serie-a-transfer-rumors

 

 

Jun 25, 2017

 

It is the final weekend of June. There are, for the most part, plenty of rumors to be occupying our minds even before the transfer market is actually open for business. Whether mere rumor or fact, main transfer targets have been put out there and pretty much everybody knows that there are moves to be made.

Names have been linked to Juventus. We know that.

But according to Sky Sport Italia on Saturday, two names have emerged from the rest of the pack and suddenly become Juventus’ top transfer targets this summer. At least right now. (That, of course, can change, but you know that by now.)

They are Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi and Real Madrid right back Danilo. Those are two positions of need for Juventus this summer because the 4-2-3-1 — or some kind of variation of it that involves play-making wingers — and the imminent departure of Dani Alves, respectively, are ever-present storylines over the last few weeks.

 

 

What does all of this mean?

Well, that’s what we’re all actually waiting to find out.

All seems relatively quiet on the Douglas Costa front right now, which could mean that either talks have stalled or that Bayern Munich continues to insist for the lofty transfer fee they want and that has caused Beppe Marotta to move on to other options that may not be pricey. Not that trying to sign Bernardeschi is going to be drastically cheaper than signing Costa, with Fiorentina still reportedly holding firm on their €50 million price tag for the 23-year-old Italian winger.

There are, of course, other right backs that have been linked to Juventus. But, a lot like one of Costa or Bernardeschi, it’s not like Danilo is going to come cheap. He may have appeared in only 17 league games this past season, but Real Madrid isn’t going to let a 25-year-old fullback who likely has more than just a few admirers go for a cut-rate kind of price after he they signed him for over €31 million two summers ago.

(All of this counting the whole non-EU part of the equation.)

Juventus offer €35m for Bernardeschi

Jun 30, 2017

 

Juventus will reportedly offer €35m plus bonuses for Fiorentina forward Federico Bernardeschi.

 

The Bianconeri are known to be interested in the Italian international, but the Viola are hugely reluctant to sell to their most hated rivals.

 

Despite that, this morning’s Gazzetta dello Sport says the Old Lady will offer €35m plus bonuses, having previously refused to go above €30m.

 

That would take them within striking distance of €40m, with Fiorentina stating they won’t come to the table for an offer below that amount.

 

Bernardeschi appears unlikely to sign a new contract, which gives Juve some leverage, but the Viola would rather sell him abroad if he has to go.

Bernardeschi to Juve next week?

 

 

http://www.football-italia.net/105051/bernardeschi-juve-next-week

 

Jul 1, 2017

 

Juventus are expected to offer €40m plus a player for Fiorentina star Federico Bernardeschi next week, claim multiple reports.

 

According to The Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport and La Nazione, an offer will be presented by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

 

There will be a cash sum of up to €40m plus a player in part-exchange, likely to be Stefano Sturaro or Tomas Rincon.

 

The Viola set a €50m price-tag on the talent, who is fresh from an impressive European Under-21 Championship performance.

 

He refused to sign a contract renewal and so is expected to be sold this summer.

 

Chelsea, Inter, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich had also shown a strong interest in the 23-year-old, who can play a variety of forward and wide roles.

 

It’s believed Juve pinpointed Bernardeschi after failing to lower Bayern Munich’s €50m asking price for Douglas Costa.

Corvino: 'Bernardeschi not for sale'

Jul 2, 2017

 

Pantaleo Corvino insists Federico Bernardeschi “is not for sale. If Nikola Kalinic and Borja Valero want to leave Fiorentina, then they have to tell us.”

 

The players are all at the centre of transfer rumours, as Bernardeschi is the subject of a €40m plus bonuses or Stefano Sturaro offer from Juventus.

 

Kalinic is a known target for Milan, though the Viola refuse to lower their €30m asking price, and Borja Valero has agreed terms with Inter with a move expected for €7m next week.

 

“Bernardeschi is a product of our youth academy and therefore as far as we are concerned he is not for sale,” Fiorentina director of sport Corvino told La Domenica Sportiva.

 

The Italy international will be out of contract in June 2019 and has refused to sign a new deal.

 

“Kalinic and Borja Valero are very fond of Fiorentina and we are very fond of them. We consider them part of the project, but if they want to leave, then they have to tell us.”

Juve prepare Bernardeschi bid

Jul 4, 2017

 

After Fiorentina confirmed Federico Bernardeschi put in a transfer request, Juventus dive in with an offer of €40m plus bonuses and a player.

 

“(Agent Beppe) Bozzo told us that Bernardeschi has no intention of renewing his contract, despite a very important proposal on the table. He wants to leave,” Viola director Pantaleo Corvino told reporters this afternoon.

 

This was the long-awaited opening Juventus were hoping for and they are reportedly ready to spring into action.

 

There is already a bid lined up for €40m plus bonuses and a player, likely to be either Stefano Sturaro or Tomas Rincon.

 

Fiorentina’s asking price for the 23-year-old was believed to be €50m.

 

Juve remain the favourites, also thanks to the intentions of the player himself, but Inter, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are also contenders.

Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Milan could also step up for the Italy international.

 

Bernardeschi primarily plays on the right wing, but can also be a trequartista, a central midfielder or go on the left.

 

During the European Under-21 Championship, he played as a support striker on a few occasions for Italy.

 

Last season he scored 14 goals with five assists in 42 competitive games for Fiorentina.

Juventus have reportedly made their first official bid for Fiorentina’s Federico Bernardeschi - €40m plus €2m in bonuses.

 

The Bianconeri are keen to sign the Italian international this summer, and he has told the Viola he won’t be extending his contract.

 

However, the deep-seater rivalry between the two clubs means the Tuscan outfit are hugely reluctant to sell.

 

Now Sky Italia is reporting that an official offer has been submitted, worth €40m plus another €2m in bonuses.

 

It’s expected that Fiorentina will reject it though, as they want €40m up-front and €10m in bonuses.

Federico Bernardeschi: "Who wouldn't

like to play for Juventus?"

bernardeschi-who-wouldnt-play-for-juve_302555.html

 

Jul 12, 2017

 

Fiorentina forward Federico Bernardeschi has suggested that no footballer would turn down the opportunity to play for Juventus.

 

The 23-year-old made headlines last season after an impressive Serie A campaign in which he scored 11 goals and created 57 chances for the Viola.

 

As a result, the Italy international has been heavily linked with Juve this summer, with Fiorentina reportedly wanting £35m to part ways with him.

 

Bernardeschi told the Gazzetta dello Sport: "I'm ready to start again. Where? I think with Fiorentina at their training camp. Juve? I don't know, I'm calm and I'm in no hurry.

 

"I've always thought that everyone should do their job [first and foremost]. I did mine, which was to try to play well.

 

"It's now with my agent and the club. I won't interfere, but I repeat, I'm calm and I'm in no hurry. Still, who wouldn't like to play for Juventus?"

 

The Bianconeri have been active in the transfer market so far this summer, signing Rodrigo Bentancur and Patrik Schick, while Medhi Benatia and Juan Cuadrado have both signed permanently following loan spells.
