As reported in the last days, signing Schalke 04 29 year old striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar seemed extremely difficult for Juventus, but now it will be almost impossible as the Holland international has extended his deal with the German club, that was about to expire at the end of the season, until June 2015. Another option for the Serie A defending champions was considered Barcelona 31 year old David Villa, but, interviewed by Canal Plus, the Catalan club’s Sports Director Andoni Zubizarreta has declared that the Spain international won’t move. In any case, at the moment, the priority for the Piedmontese club is the signing of a new defender, and the bianconeri, according to the Corriere dello Sport, the bianconeri are ready to start the negotiation with Atalanta for 28 year old Federico Peluso, with Rubin Kazan 26 year old Salvatore Bocchetti, Napoli 31 year old Andrea Dossena and Botafogo 18 year old Doria as alternatives, but the latter one only if the Brazilian club will low his requests.

Also Inter Milan are working to enforce their offensive line, as they are seeking a backup for 33 year old Diego Milito, and , according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the nerazzurri are thinking about Genoa 30 year old Marco Borriello, with 29 year old Rolando Bianchi, who, according to calciomercato.com, has almost no chances to extend his deal with Torino.
