CM.com’s Nicola Balice reports on the ongoing Bianconeri saga involving their right back transfer news. The Juve market continues to rotate around wide players, defensively and in attack. In particular, the role of right-backs continues to see a continuous upswing in the negotiations entertained by the Old Lady to fill the gap left by Dani Alves, as a supplement to the aging Lichtsteiner, who is still part of their project, but likely not for the long term. The road that leads to De Sciglio will be difficult, and regardless of how it ends, the route leads supposedly to a big name. And this entire scenario is currently linked to the fate of Douglas Costa and all the other non-EU players. In this sense, Danilo remains the first name on the Bianconeri men's list.

 

DANILO - At yesterday's meeting with the intermediary of the operation, Fabrizio De Vecchi followed up with a new interview today. Juve are making a careful assessment of a new and improved bid after Real's rejection of 15 million EUR plus bonuses offered last week. Florentino Perez does not seem particularly willing to accept a formula, and Chelsea and PSG have compelled Juve to accelerate the timing of their new offer, which should be about 20 million EUR plus bonuses and is considerably closer to Real's request.

 

RAIOLA TRIES - At the same time, Aurier's status has become another reason that complicates Juve’s transfer strategy. There has been a new suggestion from Mino Raiola to be carefully evaluated by Juve. The idea is to bring Kenny Tete into the club. The Dutch wide player would be a gamble with high potential but with less certainty than Danilo. More significantly though, is the lower price tag. His contract expires in 2018 and he could possibly leave Ajax for a little over 5 million EUR. At this moment Juve can not and does not want to rule out any solution and evaluates Tete with great care, waiting to see whether to give confidence again to Raiola who considers him a potential champion.
