A regular starter for Juventus in the absence of Claudio Marchisio, Mario Lemina is having a very solid start to the season.
Playing a part in every single Juventus league win so far this season, the only game he didn’t feature in was the 2-1 loss to Inter Milan.
Despite this impressive statistic, there is little doubt that when Claudio Marchisio is back from his injury, the Gabonese midfielder will most likely be relegated to the bench.
Furthermore, if Juventus get their way and manage to bring in Axel Witsel from Zenit St Petersburg, things might get even more complicated for the former Marseille player.
It is with all of this in mind that Calciomercato have a lengthy article on his future situation, using Tuttosport as their basis, with Arsenal capable of tempting Juventus with a sale in January.
Tuttosport, in their article, briefly mention the interest of Schalke and Leicester, but Calciomercato go a step further by saying the Gunners could come back, having sent scouts to watch him ‘on more than one occasion’ to see him progress.
They say his current value has ‘already eclipsed’ the €20m mark, having been bought for £8m in July.
That’s a steep increase, but good performances will do that in the current market.
