Juventus Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Federico Bernardeschi and Moise Kean

Juventus have reportedly set their sights on Fiorentina star Federico Bernardeschi as they are unwilling to pay €50 million for Bayern Munich's Douglas Costa.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football-Italia), the Bianconeri have offered Fiorentina a package of €30 million plus bonuses, but the Viola want €10 million more.

The winger racked up 14 goals and five assists in all competitions last season, and he's among the top young Italian players making a name for himself in Serie A.

Bernardeschi is a versatile operator and played on both the left and the right last season, as well as providing extensive cover in a central supporting role.

According to Squawka, he completed 71 take-ons in Serie A and the UEFA Europa League, and he also created an impressive 64 chances for his team-mates across the two competitions—as such, he can perhaps count himself a little unfortunate not to have been rewarded with more assists.

That likely wouldn't be a problem in Turin, though, where Bernardeschi would be supplying the likes of Gonzalo Higuain.

Football writer Adam Digby hailed his creativity after an excellent performance against Juventus earlier in the season:

GianlucaDiMarzio.com's David Amoyal believes he has the mentality to cope with a move to an elite club:

However, Eurosport's Siavoush Fallahi has reservations over his worth following some lacklustre performances for Italy's under-21 side this summer:

The 23-year-old hasn't been at the same standard he's achieved in Serie A, but if he could produce that form at Juventus, he could still be a strong addition to the squad.

Meanwhile, the club's failure to meet an unusual request from Moise Kean's father, Biorou, could put them at risk of losing the starlet.

He told Tuttosport (h/t Sky Sports' James Kilpatrick): 

"Juventus offered a contract of €700,000-a-year, which was fine, but the problem is they had also promised me some tractors for my agricultural business in the Ivory Coast, but now they say there is no budget for them.

"I own several hectares of land in the Ivory Coast which I would like to cultivate with rice and corn. I'm an agronomist. I asked for agricultural materials and they told me 'no problem.'

"However, the other day, Juve's lawyer contacted me to tell me that the contract offer had been revoked because my requests were out of their means.

"Once Moise becomes an adult, Juve are likely to lose him for nothing if he doesn't sign a contract soon."

Kean turns 18 next February. He made four senior appearances for the Old Lady last season and managed to find the net despite his game time totalling just 23 minutes.

The forward also bagged 11 goals and five assists in 13 Primavera B matches, and he scored another two in the UEFA Youth League.

Juve will not want to lose the precocious talent, least of all for free, so they'll need to take steps to ensure they can secure the youngster's future.
