Schalke star Julian Draxler has revealed his contract demands to Juventus, as the Italian giants look to wrap up a move for the talent.
Having lost all of Carlos Tevez, Andrea Pirlo and soon-to-be Bayern Munich player Arturo Vidal already this summer, Massimiliano Allegri’s Serie A champions are in the market for a player who can bridge the gap between midfield and attack, with Draxler a high priority.
The German sensation has made it known to Bianconeri personnel that he wants to earn €5 million each year with the club, report Sky Sport Italia.
Once personal terms are agreed, Juventus will move on to the process of agreeing a fee with Schalke for the player.
However, the latest reports say that the two negotiating parties are still at considerable €10 million difference.
Alternatively, the Champions League runners-up could make a move for Bayern’s Mario Gotze, who has been linked recently in addition to Arsenal record signing Mesut Ozil.
