As announced two days ago, the fact that Arsenal have signed 25 year old striker Olivier Giroud could ease the transfer of 29 year old Robin Van Persie to Juventus. The main rivals for the bianconeri in the hunt for the Holland national are Manchester City and, as reported by the Daily Mail, Paris Saint-Germain. Reagarding the midfield, Juve keep on tracking Brescia 21 year old Omar El Kaddouri, who seemed intended to move to Parma. Interviewed by Sportitalia, the Belgium national has admitted that his will is to move to Turin but that he has not refused any club. Regarding the possible departure, yesterday there were some news regarding a swap between Werder Bremen and the Piedmontese club that would involve 24 year old defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos and 25 year old winger Eljero Elia. Interviewed by calciomercato.com, Nikolaos Klitsidis, agent of the Greece national, has confirmed that Juve admire his client but that there have been no contacts.

Seeking a midfielder, AC Milan are still keen on Real Madrid 27 year old Lassana Diarra. The Frenchman remains a difficult target to reach, but, as reported by L'Equipe, Spartak Moscow are about to sign Vasco da Gama 22 year old Romulo and are no mor interested in "Lass", and this could make things easier for the rossoneri. Moreover, Milan are also seeking a fullback, and seem intentionned to sign an Italian player, as Palermo 30 year old Federico Balzaretti, Atalanta 28 year old Federico Peluso or Napoli 30 year old Andrea Dossena.
