West Ham United and Leicester City are reportedly keen on signing the Juventus midfielder.

Juventus star Stefano Sturaro’s agent Carlo Volpi spoke exclusively to Gazzetta dello Sport, and insisted that despite only two firm offers being received for his client from West Ham and Leicester respectively, there are four other clubs interested in signing the Italian.

The 25-year-old joined Juve in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £4.5 million, and he has gone on to make 90 appearances in all competitions for the Old Lady.

He has reportedly been made available for transfer this summer, however, with Gazzetta dello Sport claiming that he is valued at around €20 million (£17.9 million) by the Italian champions.

Sturaro’s agent told Gazzetta dello Sport that West Ham and Leicester have made ‘big offers’ for his client, but they are not the only clubs who are interested in obtaining the Juve ace’s signature:

“There are not only the big offers from West Ham and Leicester, but at least four other clubs are interested in my client. He does not have a favourite destination. Just wait for a decision by Juventus.”

The 25-year-old isn’t exactly highly rated in his homeland, with some Juventus fans rejoicing at the news of him potentially leaving Turin.

He is extremely limited from a technical perspective, and whether he is wroth £17.9 million is highly debatable.

According to his agent, though, there are plenty of clubs who do rate him as a footballer, with West Ham and Leicester currently leading the race.
