Florence -
Fiorentina boss Francesco Graziani admits he is ready to release
Federico Bernardeschi to Juventus when it receives a suitable offer.
Throughout the 2016-2017 season, Bernardeschi defended Fiorentina in 42 games in all competitions. Of these, the 23-year-old player collected 14 goals and five assists."I have confidence in the transfer plan of Panteleo Corvino (Fiorentina Sports Director), even though we have lost Borja Valero and risk left Milan Badelj, Federico Bernardeschi and Nikola Kalinic," Graziani told Radio24.
"Bernardeschi to Juventus? If we can get 40 million euros from the sale, I myself will bring Bernardeschi to Juventus," he continued.
Appearance is suspected to be the reason Juventus want to recruit Bernardeschi. Coach Massimiliano Allegri considers Bernardeschi the right figure to perfect the 4-2-3-1 formation he has implemented since mid-season 2016-2017.
When joining Juventus, Bernardeschi will be the second recruit in the summer transfer market in 2017. Previously, I Bianconeri have brought Patrik Schick from Sampdoria.
