While Gonzalo Higuain seems always harder to reach, Juventus, who are seeking a striker for the next season, seem to be, according to the player's agent, the first choice of Internacional de Porto Alegre 22 year old Leandro Damiao. On the other hand, regarding the midfield, Juve will have to compete with Fiorentina for Pescara 19 year old Marco Verratti. The Italy Under 21 national is considered by the Tuscan club the heir of Riccardo Montolivo, who could move to Wolfsburg.                                  

Montolivo is still considered a target for AC Milan, whose Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has tuned out the transfer rumours regarding Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva.

After this morning's rumours, Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has declared that Argentine ace Ezequiel Lavezzi won't leave Naples, as well as Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani.
