Opinion: Juve-material Guimaraes is NOT worth Lyon’s demanded 45 million euros.

Bruno Guimaraes appears to be an option for Juventus in January or the summer. Without a doubt, the Brazilian midfielder has his qualities. In fact, I firmly believe he could thrive in today's midfield of Juventus. However, the Old Lady does not have the money to pull this transfer off even with Arthur at Arsenal with Gunners covering his full salary. Olympique Lyon is known for the high price tags of their rising stars, and they do not lower an expense of a player too easily. In the past, during negotiations for Houssem Aouar, it was declared that there was a good relationship between Juve and Lyon. Hence, I find it surprising that they, reportedly, demand 45 million euros for Guimaraes. An amount of money that not only is currently unthinkable for Juve to spend but to get togethe...
