Reports from Brazil have suggested that Juventus have placed a bid in for the young Brazilian defender Doria who plays his football at club Botafogo.
The Bianconeri have reportedly made a €4.5 million bid for the 18-year-old, but despite the offer Botafogo have turned it down as the club president believes the player is worth a lot more.
Botafogo president Mauricio Assumpcao confirmed that the club had rejected a €4.5 million offer from Juventus for young defender.
Mauricio Assumpcao stated “For €4.5m, he won’t leave. We’ve already said no to that,” he told Radio Globo.
“But I don’t know – the transfer market is crazy. There are players out there being sold for €100m.”
Doria has made 17 appearances in the Brasileiro this season, scoring once this term. Fogao chief believes the club can demand a higher transfer fee.
Botafogo currently sit in fifth place in the Brasileiro, 23 points behind league leaders Fluminense.
