Barcelona scout three Juventus’ targets
La Liga giants are reported to be interested in Sassuolo’s mainstays Domenico Berardi and Sime Vrsaljko as well as in Lazio’s ace Felipe Anderson. Last summer the Catalan side have signed Aleix Vidal from Sevilla and Arda Turan from La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid. Despite this, Luis Enrique still can’t rely on the two Nou Camp newcomers until next January, as Barcelona are still facing a two transfer window ban.
The Champions’ League cup holders are chasing a backup for Aleix Vidal and the Croatia International Sime Vraljko fit the description perfectly. He has a €15 million price tag and the Serie A champions Juventus are also reported to be interested in the player.
As far as Domenico Berardi and Felipe Anderson are concerned, they are among the best Serie A players and every top European club such as Barcelona have set their target on them.
The Sassuolo’s star has scored 31 goals in his first two Serie A spell. Juventus can activate a € 18 million buy back clause in 2016 or a € 25 million one in 2017, but in case Barcelona would pounce on the player, it is not to take for granted that the 21 year old future will be linked with the Old Lady.
At the same time, Felipe Anderson’s services are pretty costly as the 22 year old has a € 50 million price tag after his astonishing 2014-2015 campaign, when he helped Lazio to reach an unexpected 3rd Serie A spot with 10 goals and 8 assists. Last summer the Brazilian winger was also reported to be on the Bianconeri’s radar.
Even if none among Barardi, Vrsaljko and Felipe Anderson seem very likely to leave their current sides in the January transfer window, it is reasonable to say that they could all move to another team from next summer.
