Felipe Anderson - LazioJuventus have expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson from Lazio.

However, the capital side have made it clear that they have no interest in letting the 22-year-old go as they regard him as indispensable.

According to La Stampa, Juve sporting director Giuseppe Marotta presented an offer of €25 million plus Mauricio Isla to the Aquile which was immediately rejected.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito is refusing to listen to offers for the club’s star man, especially with the Champions League preliminary stage fast approaching.

The Biancocelesti regard Anderson as unsellable and their interest may only be stirred by an offer worth more than €40m.

Isla was linked with a move to Sevilla but the Chilean’s value has increased following impressive performances during the Copa America which inspired the Bianconeri to offer him to Lazio after the Spanish club pulled out.

Anderson made 32 appearances and scored 10 goals for Lazio during the 2014-15 season and his impressive form led to him making his international debut for Brazil.
