Juventus GM Beppe Marotta says an offer has been tabled for Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler.
Juve have been locked in talks over Draxler for more than a week.
“In a very realistic way, there are many proposals in the market. Today we presented an offer based on our evaluations and I think there's still a big gap," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
“That was one of the many proposals we have put forward during this market. The player belongs to Schalke 04, so obviously it ultimately depends on them.
“We are in no rush, but the squad at Allegri's disposal is solid and we are trying to add a few cherries to the cake.
“We are working on a trequartista, or at least a midfielder with certain characteristics, and a left-back who can act as an alternative to Patrice Evra while Kwadwo Asamoah recovers from his injury.
“We are looking for eclectic players, who can allow us to set out the team in various different ways. We are looking for a midfielder with certain characteristics."
