The reigning Serie A champions are said to be looking for roughly $34 million, while Bundesliga side Wolfsburg is said to be in contention for the striker as well.
“I’ll assess my future after the Euros, but I hope to remain in Turin,” Zaza said. “I feel happy on a personal level, but not 100% because I think I can give more. I’m enjoying these Euros, I’m concentrated, fired-up and I hope to do well.”
Zaza is coming off of a strong season with Juventus, making 24 appearances across all competitions and notching eight goals in that span. The Italian international completed a high-profile move a season ago to Juventus after impressing with Sassuolo from 2013 to 2015.
