Juventus have raised their offer for Arsenal linked attacking midfielder Julian Draxler, but Schalke are still holding out for more money.
The Bianconeri have been trying to get a deal done for Draxler for over a month, but are yet to reach an agreement with the Bundesliga outfit.
While after calling off all talks with the Italian champions earlier this month, Schalke have come back to the negotiating table, Juventus are still struggling to get the deal over the line.

Schalke have rejected their offer and are still holding out for more money for the 21-year-old Germany international.
