Serie A side Juventus have sealed a move for Genoa talent Jeff Ekhator, who has joined the club on a permanent basis. But they remain in the hunt for another attacking signing and Sunderlandโs Brian Brobbey could be in the picture.
Tuttomercatoweb report that while the Dutchman has been shortlisted by several clubs because of his performances at the World Cup, he has been offered to Juventus as well.
The Old Lady could see the Sunderland star as an alternative to Randal Kolo Muani, as they desperately chase the Frenchman. A fee of between โฌ35 million and โฌ40 million can get the conversation started for the Netherlands man, who made quite an impact for the Black Cats last season.
Sunderlandโs own stance about this remains unknown, especially as they signed him only a season ago.

Deal poses financial difficulty
TMWโs valuation appears presumptory, as they fail to take into account his importance to Sunderland and how it extends beyond goals.ย
He could cost more than the mentioned amount, making him more expensive than Kolo Muani. That is why this seems like Brobbeyโs entourage trying to assess options and take advantage of things after the World Cup.
