Leicester City and Roma are increasingly competing in the transfer battle for Juventus striker Matias Sule. Renowned transfer journalist Nicolo Scilla recently revealed the latest developments in the matter, revealing the stance and strategy of Juventus, the player and his agent in the complex deal.
Scilla notes that Juventus have made it clear to Matias Sule and his agent that the current offer from Leicester City is more generous. This information undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on the Roma club, as Juventus are clearly more inclined to accept higher offers in transfer negotiations. However, despite the financial temptation, Matias Sule and his agent have maintained their desire to join Roma, a decision based on their personal preference for Serie A and the club.
Juventus have shown the shrewdness of their business strategy in handling this situation. They made it clear that if Roma were unable to raise their offer to a level comparable to Leicester City's (i.e. €30 million plus floating bonuses), then they would prefer to strike a deal with Leicester City, who had offered more. However, Juve have also retained flexibility, stating that if the offers from both sides end up being equal, they will respect Mathias Sule's personal wishes and give him the freedom to join whichever club he chooses.
It's worth noting that Leicester City seem to have an advantage in this deal, as they have an intermediary involved in the negotiations, which helps them communicate more directly and effectively with Juventus. In addition, Leicester City have also expressed their desire to complete a deal with Mathias Sule and his agent without "interference", which further emphasizes their proactive approach to transfer negotiations.
