The report also claims that Juventus coach Luciane Spalletti has placed Goretzka “at the top of her list.”
Arsenal were seen as favorites to land the German international, but Juventus will not give up without a fight.
According to the report, the Serie A giants are “pushing hard to overcome the strong competition and convince you to choose Juventus over Arsenal.”
Goretzka is said to have first caught the eye of Juventus in 2010. Now, if the Bianconeri have their way, he could finally arrive 16 years later.
