As reported earlier, Juventus 20 year old midfielder Paul Pogba has been quite elusive about his future; interviewed by Sky Sport after the game against Catania, the Piedmont’s club Chief Executive Giuseppe Marotta has declared that the player’s words have been misunderstood. Still regarding their midfield, the bianconeri keep on seeking the heir of 34 year old Andrea Pirlo –who has perhaps revealed that he will soon renew his contract- and if Pogba would leave, could swoop on Paris Saint-Germain 21 year old Marco Verratti; another target for the Serie A defending champions remains Atalanta 22 year old Daniele Baselli, and, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, to overtake Fiorentina, Inter Milan and AS Roma in the hunt for the Italy Under 21 international, are ready to offer to the orobici 30 year old midfielder Simone Padoin and 22 year old striker Simone Zaza, actually in co-ownership with Sassuolo. Juve are also seeking a defender, and, according to Tuttosport, are thinking about Parma 28 year old Gabriel Paletta. Regarding their offensive line, the bianconeri, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, could decide to swoop on 23 year old Ciro Immobile, actually in co-ownership with their city rivals Torino and playing for the granata. Napoli’s priority for the next transfer window is the signing of a new center back, and their main target for such position, as confirmed by the Sunday Mirror, is Arsenal 28 year old Thomas Vermaelen; the Belgium international seems intentioned to leave the Gunners.
