Mario Hermoso appears to be on his way to Serie A as the end of his contract with Atletico Madrid approaches.
The defender is widely regarded as one of the players of his position in Europe and has shown little interest in renewing his contract with Atletico.
Despite talks between the Madrid club and their representatives, they failed to reach an agreement on a new agreement.
As the season draws to a close, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Hermoso needs to leave the club and Juventus are keen to secure their facilities as soon as possible.
However, they face the festival of Inter Milan and AC Milan, who are also in the race to sign the Spaniard.
According to a report by Calciomercato, AC Milan are now leading the race to sign him.
Aware of the interest from Juve and Inter, AC Milan moved temporarily to convince Hermoso to sign for them and play for the Rossoneri.
Juve FC says
Hermoso is one of the players we’ve been following for a long time and it wouldn’t make sense for us to lose him at AC Milan.
They desperately need to sign him, but we have to show why we are the club in the country by winning the race.
