As he celebrates his 49th birthday, Juventus are planning to give coach Massimo Allegri a special gift before the close of the transfer window.
 

The names on the shortlist are known, it goes from Matic to Matuidi, Witsel to Isco not forgetting Luiz Gustavo, Kovacic and Brozovic. Allegri is clear on whom he wants, a top-quality midfielder or a “Higuain” for the central areas. There are not too many players on the market that could raise the profile of the squad but Allegri trusts his transfer duo of Marotta and Paratici; expect a surprise, just like a month ago.
