REVEALED: Juventus tried for Barcelona fullback Sergio Akieme

Barcelona are preparing to lose young fullback Sergio Akieme.

The 22 year-old defender won't consider another season in the Segunda B with Barca's B team.

Juventus asked after Akieme during negotiations for Arthur Melo, but Barca refused, says Mundo Deportivo. However, with Barca B failing in their promotion playoff last week, the youngster now wishes to leave.

And Akieme isn't short of offers as Granada - who will play in the Europa League next season - Valladolid and Eibar have all expressed interest.

Akieme has a deal with Barca to 2022.
