Hellas Verona’s sporting director Sean Sogliano has revealed that the club would only accept an offer of double the amount paid for Liverpool target Juan Manuel Iturbe.
The Argentinian attacker spent the season on loan from Porto with Verona, who opted to action a clause in the contract allowing them to sign Iturbe for a fee of £12million.
As much due to his nationality as his dribbling skills and footballing abilities, perhaps, but the 20-year-old had previously been hailed as the next Messi, which no doubt caught the eye of numerous club. Sogliano has his own views on the youngster’s market value, which he expressed in a interview with Telenuovo, a regional Italian television channel, reports TalkSPORT.
“Iturbe? For me he is worth more than £24m,” said Sogliano.
“If we can sell at a figure to make a fortune for Verona he may leave, otherwise he will remain with us. I do not know where he will go. I will only sit down with those who really want him.”
Elsewhere, it has recently emerged that Liverpool remain interested in Southampton’s Adam Lallana, following reports claiming a deal for the England international had hit a snag.
