From 2x1 to 2x2: Juve's swap deal requests with Barça grow

by

Juve has gone from 2x1 to 2x2 and has dared to ask Barcelona for the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé and Arturo Vidal in exchange for Pjanic and De Sciglio, a real inconsistency if we take into account that Barcelona had to pay 125 million for the Frenchman.

Barcelona and Juventus are still in the midst of a swap operation that is causing a lot of rumours. According to the press, in the last few hours, they have gone from a possible 2x1 to 2x2.

Pjanic and De Sciglio, waiting for Arthur to be convinced was the original idea of this exchange between Spanish and Italian, with the departure of the Brazilian from the Camp Nou as the great brake of the operation.

But Arthur is not convinced and Juve has reportedly already moved to plan B, a new swap in which they have requested Ousmane Dembélé and Arturo Vidal instead of the Brazilian.

That's what 'RAC1' reports, adding that the Italians want a loan with an option to buy for the French since his frequent injuries don't make him a perfect candidate.  

A possible swap that has gone from difficult to almost impossible, considering Dembélé's importance for Barcelona. He is only 23, and Barcelona paid 125 million for him, so Juventus' interest would become problematic.
