It was already well known that 34 year old Brazilian center back Lucio was intentioned to leave Juventus, but now it’s official: the Piedmontese club has in fact commumicated through its website that the contract with the former Inter Milan player has been terminated; Lucio could remain in Italy to join AC Milan or move abroad where he is tracked by Sao Paulo and Wolfsburg. Still regarding the possible departures, 28 year old midfielder Simone Padoin seems intended to move to Genoa. For what concerns the possible signings, despite the declarations released yesterday by both their General Manager Giuseppe Marotta and their head coach Antonio Conte, it seems difficult to believe that the bianconeri won’t enforce their defensive line, and the Serie A defending champions could have a new chance for Shanghai Shenhua 34 year old Didier Drogba, who, as exclusively reported by calciomercato.com, is intentioned to fly to China to talk to his club’s president Zhu Jun, and could ask to terminate his contract. Moreover, Juve, as well as city rivals Torino and Inter Milan, have probably lost their chance to sign Gornik Zabrze 18 year old Arkadiusz Milik, who, according to calciomercato.com, will substain today the medicals for Bayer Leverkusen, that he will join at the end of the season.

The nerazzurri keep in any case in seeking a backup for their 33 year old forward Diego Milito, and, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, are thinking about Arsenal 29 year old Marouane Chamakh, who could be signed on loan with right to buy, even if the Lombard club could decide to call back from Espanyol 20 year old Samuele Longo.
