Exclusive: Juventus Rule Out Signing Samuel Chukwueze, Arsenal Deal On The Brink Of Collapse
Published: May 01, 2016
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Italian Serie A giants Juventus have ruled out signing Nigeria U17 international Samuel Chukwueze from Diamond Academy.
Representatives of the Bianconeri negotiated a transfer fee with the Umuahia-based nursery team before the Golden Eaglets star traveled to London to train with Arsenal but could not agree terms, with the financial compensation proving a stumbling block.
Diamond Academy have admitted that Chukwueze’s proposed move to the Emirates is on the brink of collapse and opened a line of communication with the facilitator of the Juventus deal a few days ago but got a negative response.
The Turin-based outfit had held talks with Victor Osimhen in Lagos before he struck a deal with Wolfsburg and had considered signing his teammates Funsho Bamgboye and Chukwueze after the striker gave them the cold shoulder.
Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund had explored the possibility of signing Chukwueze after the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup but it appears the trail has gone cold.
