On January 16, Beijing time, according to the news of the Turin Sports Newspaper, Juve hoped to import Iranian striker Azmoun from Zenit, but they even had 5 million euros too expensive.
Azmoun, 27, who is known as Iran's Messi, has only six months left on his contract with Zenit, and he has made it clear that he will not renew it. If Zenit is reluctant to let him go, he will be free to leave the team this summer. Azmoun also admitted that he would next stand in Europe's top five leagues.
In order to avoid the end of the money, Zenit was willing to send Azmun away in the winter window, and the psychological price was 5 million euros. The asking price was not excessive, as Zenit spent €12 million on Azmount, and Azmoun's latest value on the German Transfer Market reached €25 million. Buying Azmoun for 5 million euros is already equivalent to making 20 million euros.
Because Ofeza Jr.'s season reimbursement, Juve hope to bring in reinforcements in the winter window. However, according to the Turin Sports newspaper, Juve are only willing to bring in Azmoun for less than 5 million euros.
Azmoun's teasing of the three major centre-backs of the national football team at the Asian Cup is well known, his ability and strength are obvious to all, and he does not lack a family. Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen sent Azmoun an offer of 18 million euros last summer, but Zenit refused. Juve's offer of less than €5 million is a bit humiliating. Remember that Juve had been waiting for Witsel, and was also preparing to try to offer 5 million euros in the winter window, but the result was directly cut off by Tianjin Quanjian for 20 million euros.
