One of Juventus’ standout stars, Matias Soulé, could be on the move this summer, with Bayer Leverkusen and Crystal Palace showing interest. Soulé, who shone during his loan spell at Frosinone last season, is set to return to Juventus but could be one of the major players sacrificed in the coming weeks as offers continue to roll in.
According to recent reports from Tuttomercatoweb.com, Soulé is on the radar of Bayer Leverkusen. The young Argentinian, considered one of the best young talents in the world by the CIES and among the top Under-23 players in Serie A, fits the profile of promising young talent that Leverkusen, under the management of Xabi Alonso, is keen to acquire.
Juventus’ sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is reportedly ready to entertain offers for the South American star.
Along with the Bundesliga champions, Premier League side Crystal Palace are reportedly vying for the signature of the 21-year-old. According to the Palace Way, Soule is their preferred target to replace Michael Olise long-term. The report outlines how:
Palace view Soule as a like-for-like Olise replacement, although they have different styles of play – Soule is more of an inside forward, whilst Olise can play both as an inverted touchline winger and as more of a 10. Similar to Olise, however, Soule is a threat from both direct and indirect set-pieces.
