Juventus Interested In Cedric Soares
The latest story coming out of Portugal is that Juventus are interested in Cedric Soares and have enquired about the asking price.
According to the Portuguese newspaper Record, Italian giants Juventus have recently opened talks with Southampton to get to know the possibility of a Cedric Soares transfer.
The Record states that the contact so far has been resticted to just finding the player’s price, something it doesn't reveal whether it was quoted or not.
Cedric is contracted to Saints till the summer of 2020, so Saints are under no particular pressure to sell .
Juventus are considering their options at right back and interestingly it is pointed out that Cedric is keeping Nelson Samedo out of the Portugese side and that both Manchester United and Barcelona have enquired and been quoted upwards of £35 million for the Benfica player.
Do Juventus have that kind of money to spend on a full back ? if they do would they want to !
