    Juventus: Buffon calls Balotelli; Walcott gets farther. Inter Milan: idea Barrientos

    As well known, Juventus’priority for the next transfer window is the signing of a new striker: and with the Champions League game against Chelsea approaching, the medias keep on talking about the possibility for the bianconeri to sign the former Blues star Didier Drogba, who last Summer has left the European Champions to join Shanghai Shenhua; but a new name for the Piedmontese team’s offensive line could be the one of Manchester City 22 year old Mario Balotelli, also considered an Inter and AC Milan target: during a long interview accorded to La Stampa, the Serie A defending champions' goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has sent a message to his teammate in the Italian national team by declaring thet if the young striker would join Juve with the right mentality, he could be very useful to the team. The former World Champion has perhaps also confirmed his intention to extend his deal with the Piedmontese club until June 2016. The bianconeri are also seeking a winger, but Arsenal don’t seem intentioned, as reported by the Daily Mail, to let one of Juve’s main target for that position, 23 year old Theo Walcott, leave in January, even if the England international won’t extend his contract with the Gunners, actually expiring at the end of the current season.

    As anticipated yesterday, it seems always more probable that the declarations released by Inter Milan Technical Director Marco Branca, who stated that his club won’t sign any new players in January, was just a tactic to hide the real maneuvers of the Lombard club on the transfer market: for example, the nerazzurri, who need a backup for their 33 year old forward Diego Milito, seem extremely attentive, as well as Marseille, to the situation of Catania 27 year old Pablo Barrientos, who has expressed, through his Twitter profile, his will to leave the Sicilian club.
