Juventus keep on seeking a striker, and Athletic Bilbao 27 year old Fernando Llorente remains the most concrete option: the bianconeri already have an agreement with the player, and could offer up to 18 million euros to the Basque club. The Piedmontese club could in fact earn an important amount by selling 28 year old right back Stephan Lichsteiner -although today Paris Saint-Germain’s manager Carlo Ancelotti has denied to be interested in the Switzerland national- and his compatriot Reto Ziegler, also tracked, according to Tuttosport, by Stoke City. To replace Lichtseiner, the Serie A champs could sign, according to La Repubblica, Inter Milan 30 year old Maicon.

 

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan have defintely renounced to Real Madrid 30 year old forward Ricardo Kaka, and could swoop, as reported by the Corriere dello Sport, on 33 year old Adrian Mutu. As already explained, the rossoneri actually have three left backs but only 30 year old Luca Antonini is sure to remain, and, according to the Dutch press, the Lombard club are interested in 25 year old Royston Drenthe, actually without a contract. Still regarding the defense, Schalke 04 20 year old Kyriakos Papadopoulos remains Milan’s main target if Philippe Mexes will leave.

 

As reported by the Corriere dello Sport, Inter Milan have carried out the negotiation with FC Porto for 26 year old left wingback Alvaro Pereira and 24 year old Fernando; the nerazzurri are still seeking an attacking midfielder and if, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the swap with AC Milan involving 27 year old Giampaolo Pazzini and 30 year old Antonio Cassano remains a concrete option, today Santos president Luis Alvaro  de Oliveira has declared that he could sell 22 year old Paulo Henrique Ganso to a club like Inter or Real Madrid for a better price than to a Brazilian club. Unfortunately the player has declared to Sport TV that for the moment he has received offers only from Brazilian clubs. Ganso could replace Ricky Alvarez that could be yielded to Porto as part of the negotiation for Pereira and Fernando.
