Juventus could sign Genoa star for cheap as he faces trial back home

Juventus could pay less for Albert Gudmundsson than Genoa expects to make from his departure.

The attacker is on the radar of almost every top Serie A club, and Juve is keen to ensure he joins them.

Genoa has been selling some of its best talents, so they have money and are willing to wait for a good fee from Gudmundsson’s departure.

The Iceland international was one of the standout attackers in Serie A this season, and he is also wanted by Premier League clubs.

However, Juve could get a potential boost in their bid to lower his asking price, as a report on Tuttojuve reveals he faces a trial in Iceland over sexual misconduct.

If he is punished and it affects his playing commitments, Genoa might be forced to lower their asking price, giving Juve a chance to sign him more easily.

Juve FC Says

Gudmundsson has been one of the standout performers in Serie A this season, and he clearly has the potential to do well for us.

However, he will be 27 next month, and we do not have to pay a huge fee to make him a member of our squad.
