Juventus Transfer News: January Rodrigo Bentancur Bid Refused, Latest Rumours

Juventus reportedly turned down a January offer for rising starlet Rodrigo Bentancur and are working on amending the agreement they made with former club Boca Juniors to drop a 50 percent sell-on fee they would be owed.

According to Calciomercato, an unnamed club from Spain approached Juventus in January, but CEO Giuseppe "Beppe" Marotta quickly made it clear the Uruguay international was not for sale.

On top of that, the Bianconeri are in talks with Boca Juniors with an eye on dropping a clause in the original deal for Bentancur. As of right now, the Argentinians would be entitled to 50 percent of a transfer fee for the 20-year-old, and the Old Lady wants to change that.
