Paper talk: Serie A duo in for Man Utd defender, Barça to pay Griezmann release clause
Today’s front page of Tuttosport shows Gaya, Darmian and Spinazzola, three full-backs that have been linked with a move to Juventus.
Spinazzola will make return to Turin at the end of the season as he is out on loan at Atalanta right now. Gaya and Darmian are two transfer targets for the Old Lady in the January transfer window but the Italian right-back is also wanted by Napoli.
Il Corriere dello Sport confirms the interest of the Serie A duo in Darmian whose priece-tag is in the region of € 20 million.
Meantime in Spain Barcelona are set to acquire Antoine Griezmann, according to Tuttosport. The Italian paper claims the blaugrana will match the Frenchman’s € 100 million release clause in the January window although the talented striker will only join the Camp Nou at the end of the season.
The arrival of Griezmann will not prevent Barcelona from signing Coutinho whose price-tag is € 150 million. According to Tuttosport, representatives of the Brazilian have told Liverpool that Barcelona are open to match the player’s transfer fee if they will be allowed to split the payment in three instalments.
