The closer we get to the end of the transfer window, the more it looks like Moussa Sissoko will be staying in Newcastle for the coming season.
The Championship club are very reluctant to see their star midfielder go for less than what they are asking for (€40m), and it’s putting a lot of people off
Real Madrid never made an official move (if they were ever really interested), Inter Milan aren’t offering enough, while Premier League clubs have come and gone (Crystal Palace and Everton).
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are the latest to have enquired about the player, claiming that ‘in the past few hours, a telephone call has been made to the player’s entourage’.
Needing a new midfielder, Blaise Matuidi appears to be the number one target, but just in case they can’t get him, Sissoko is their backup option.
Considering the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has only played 33 minutes during the opening two games of the season, will he want to be a backup and can Juventus guarantee him a starting spot in their team?
A deal needs to be done somewhere before the end of the window? Surely?
