Juventus are working to try and remove a clause in Rodrigo Bentancur’s contract which entitles his former employers at Boca Juniors to 50 per cent of any future transfer fee, Goal understands.
The Bianconeri signed the Uruguayan in April 2017, with first refusal having previously been secured as part of the negotiations which returned Carlos Tevez to Buenos Aires from Turin in 2015.
A €9.5 million (£8m/$11m) option was subsequently taken up and Bentancur, having been allowed to initially remain in Argentina on loan, linked up with Juve in the summer of 2017.
