Report: Juventus make new Julian Draxler bid

Juventus have reportedly made an improved offer for Schalke 04 attacking midfielder Julian Draxler.

The Italian champions were rebuffed in an earlier effort to sign the German international but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, they have tabled a new €15m (£10.5m) bid with €9m (£6.35m) in add-ons.

The 21-year-old has reportedly agreed a five-year deal with The Old Lady but the Gelsinkirchen club are reluctant to sell.

The move could also depend on Juve's pursuit of Bayern Munich star Mario Gotze, whom talkSPORT believe is their primary target.

Draxler has scored 17 goals in 107 Bundesliga appearances for Schalke but missed most of last season with a thigh injury.
