Juventus: Shaqiri farther. AC Milan: Abate to Germany?
As reported earlier today, Juventus are keen on Atalanta 21 year old midfielder Daniele Baselli, who could become the heir of Andrea Pirlo, but, interviewed by Tuttojuve.com, Giuseppe Riso, agent of the Italy Under 21 international, has declared that for the moment he hasn’t been contacted by anyone. The bianconeri, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, are also tracking some other young Italian talents, like Torino 24 year old defender Matteo Darmian, Parma 17 year old forward Alberto Cerri and Udinese 17 same-aged goalkeeper Simone Scuffet. Regarding this latter, the Friuli's club Sports Director Cristiano Giarretta has assured that for the moment he hasn’t talked with anyone, as well as for 25 year old defender Thomas Heurtaux, another possible target for the Serie A defending champions. The Piedmont’s club keeps also on tracking some more expert players, like Manchester United 26 year old winger Nani, for whom, according to Football Direct News, Juve will have to compete with Inter, AC Milan and Napoli. Still regarding the same position, a duel with the azzurri is also expected –as reported by the same medias- for what concerns Bayern Munich 22 year old Xherdan Shaqiri. AC Milan, as well known, will have to sell many of his players at the end of the season, and one of them seems to be 27 year old right back Ignazio Abate, who won’t extend his deal with the rossoneri, actually expiring in June 2015. According to calcionews24, Wolfsburg are interested in the Italy international.
