Juventus ready to sell Lichtsteiner
Once the Brazil international’s proposed move to Juventus is sealed, the club are reportedly ready to sell Lichtsteiner forward for £8.5 million after the Euro 2016 less than two weeks away.
The Switzerland international worked under Conte in Juventus from 2011 to 2014 winning three Serie A titles together, before the manager left the club to take over at Italy’s national team.
The 32-year-old veteran fullback was signed by the Old Lady for £7.5m from another Italian outfit Lazio back in 2011, and has made 197 appearances for the club with 19 goals and 23 assists to his name as well.
