Aston Villa have had a €25m (£20.8m) bid for the midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur turned down by Juventus. They were offering a guaranteed €20m with the rest in add-ons but the Italian club are demanding more because of a sell-on clause with Bentancur’s previous club, Boca Juniors.

Bentancur, a Uruguay international, joined Juventus from Boca in 2017 and has continued to be a regular this season, starting five of the club’s six Champions League group games and 13 matches in Serie A.
