Over the past few weeks, Zdravko Kuzmanovic has made clear his desire to join Juventus but Lazio stepped in and are now ready to sign the player.

Stuttgart are willing to sell and the Biancocelesti have a key advantage thanks to the friendship between the player’s agent, Marco Naletilic, and Lazio boss, Edy Reja.

CM.com believes the Biancocelesti are in pole position for the Serbian midfielder and will secure his services during the January transfer window.
