Juve: chance for Lukaku. Roma: will Nainggolan renew?
Juventus are already planning their strategies for the next Summer, when –due to the probable departures of Paul Pogba and Fernando Llorente- will have an important amount to spend on the transfer window, especially for what concerns the offensive line: Pogba’s agent is –as well known- Mino Raiola, and the powerful Italian-born Dutch businessman could help the bianconeri in the hunt for Everton 21-year-old Romelu Lukaku: as reported by The Sun, the Belgium international has declared that he is not thinking about moving back to Chelsea –from whom the Toffees signed him for about 36 million euros- but that he wants in general to join a top club; the former Anderlecht player could now join for about 25 million euros. To replace Pogba, the Serie A defending champions are thinking about Paris Saint-Germain 22-year-old Marco Verratti, but Barcelona new Director of Football Ariedo Braida is ready to disturb the Piedmont’s club in the hunt for the Italy international. In the mid time, Juve will have to deal with the situation of 27-year-old Claudio Marchisio: according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the bianconeri are ready to extend the player’s contract until 2019. Also AS Roma are trying to renew the contract of one of their midfielder, 26-year-old Radja Nainggolan: according to the Corriere dello Sport, the Belgium international requires a 3,6 million euros per season salary.
