Is Simone Zaza a player that could interest Watford?
“Sure. He is a very important striker, everyone’s aware about it. We want to understand if Juventus eager to sell him.”
Alessandro Diamanti and Victor Ibarbo are not playing on a regular under Enrique Sanchez Flores right now. Any chance to see them back in Italy in January?
“At the moment we are happy about the results of the team and we appreciate the style of play. Ibarbo and Diamanti are two important and experienced players and we’ll talk with them in a few weeks in order to know which are their requests for the future. I don’t think they want to leave the club at the moment, but we still have to talk. Everything can happen.
Alessandro Diamanti was linked with an Udinese move in January, while former Cagliari star Victor Ibarbo is a Roma loanee and he could make his Stadio Olimpico comeback in the upcoming transfer window.
