Khedira got injured again! All the midfielders on Juventus’ shortlist to replace the Germany International
The arrival of Miralem Pjanic won’t be the only one in the middle of the pitch. N’golo Kante’s agents have offered their client’ services to the bianconeri who are not willing to pay the player’s € 25 million release fee. However, with Claudio Ranieri who is a long-time admirer of Mario Lemina, the Frenchman could be included in a player plus cash swap deal to seal the transfer of the highly-rated Leicester star.
Juventus could also decide to sign a player with more quality than Kante. Marko Pjaca is one of those names on the Old Lady’s shortlist, Andre Gomes is also a long-time target of the Serie A giants. Valencia want more than € 40 million for the Portuguese International who is also chased by Manchester United. Juventus, however, are the only club to have made a concrete offer to Valencia (€ 30 million plus bonus).
Mateo Kovacic has also been monitored. The Old Lady asked information about the former Inter man during the meetings held to decide the future of Morata last month. Real Madrid don’t want to sell the player on loan deal, nor on loan with option to buy and Merengues have informed Juventus that the player is only available on the market for € 28 million.
