The Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Juventus could recruit not one, but two midfielders.
Beyond Franck Kessie’, the Old Lady needs someone else, seeing at the 19-year-old will be representing the Ivory Coast in the upcoming African Cup of Nations, alongside fellow midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah and Mario Lemina.
Thing is, there is heavy competition from England (Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea), and Atalanta don’t want to sell before the summer.
Coach Allegri is looking for a muscular midfielder to replace Paul Pogba, and the likes of Corentin Tolisso, Riechedly Bazoer, Mahmoud Dahoud and Steven N’Zonzi have all been named by the pink paper.
Tuttosport, on the other hand, claim that Axel Witsel’s eventual arrival (potentially in January), could push the Bianconeri to use a either a 4-3-1-2, or the 4-3-2-1, the 4-2-3-1 or the 4-3-3. Stefan Lichtsteiner is also set to return to Champions League duty, having been excluded from the list this summer. Juventus are linked with Julian Draxler and Leon Goretzka, while Oscar and Nemanja Matic from Chelsea are also linked with a move to Turin.
Inter are considering a January bid for Benfica goalkeeper Ederson Moraes. With Samir Handanovic already 32 years old and grumbling about not playing Champions League football, the Nerazzurri could do with some young blood at the position.
Roma are working hard to recruit an attacking midfielder, and look to be inching closer to their latest target, Real Madrid academy product Jese Rodriguez.
A recent Corriere dello Sport exclusive has the Lupa’s director of sport, Frederic Massara, travelling to Paris to speak with the player and PSG directly.
A loan deal is being considered by Roma, who are assisted by mediator Umberto Gandini, who knows the 23-year-old’s entourage well.
The Giallorossi need an alternative to Mohamed Salah (set to play in the African Cup of Nations) and Alessandro Florenzi, derailed by a major ligament tear.
The capitoline paper also claims that Nice want PSG loanee Salvatore Sirigu, who is currently on loan at Sevilla, where he has played very little.
Today’s edition of Tuttosport claims that the Nerazzurri are tempted to loan Gabigol to the Grifone as a bargaining chip. With agent Wagner Ribeiro expressing his client’s anger in an interview with ESPN Brazil yesterday.
Genoa aren’t the only option for a loan, with Pescara, Bologna, Besiktas and Las Palmas also on the list, as well as former club Santos.
Genoa would have an advantage, with Rincon’s deal set to expire in 2018, and only too happy to accept a bigger club and a double salary. The 29-year-old currently earns €750.000, but AC Milan are reportedly entertaining an offer too.
Tuttosport also reveal that Lazio want Sampdoria man Luis Muriel, who has also been targeted by Chelsea of late.
