Juventus has received two inquiries from Monza and Sassuolo regarding Aston Villa and Brighton-linked Samuel Iling-Junior.
Iling-Junior scored a crucial goal in Juventus’ 2-1 victory over Salernitana at the weekend, keeping them just two points behind league leaders Inter Milan.
However, the winger has only played a minor role for Juventus, and the club is willing to let him go.
Juventus are allegedly considering keeping him, but he has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Aston Villa and Brighton both interested.
However, according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia (via Calciomercato.com), the Serie A giants have received two queries from Italian clubs.
Monza and Sassuolo have discussed the prospect of acquiring Iling-Junior during the current transfer window.
However, it is uncertain whether they want him on a permanent basis, given the two teams are unlikely to have the money to fulfill Juventus’ €20 million asking price.
A transfer to the Premier League would benefit Juventus since they want to raise revenue from the probable sale of Iling-Junior.
