As well known, Juventus would like to extend the contract of their right back Stephan Lichsteiner, but are not intentioned to accomplish all his financial requests: during today’s game against Parma, the 30-year-old has sent an important message to his club with an outstanding performance and a great goal: interviewed by Sky, the bianconeri’s General Manager Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed that his club must respect some financial rules but has admitted to be optimistic about the former Lazio player’s new contract; the Serie A defending champions must also strengthen their left flank, and, as outlined by calciomercato.com, are thinking about another Swiss, Wolfsburg 22-year-old Ricardo Rodriguez: the former FC Zurich player costs about 20 million euros but has only one and a half years on his contract: the German club are working to extend such deal, so Juve could try to disturb the negotiation to get some more chances to obtain their target. The Piedmont’s club is also seeking a center back, but, according to the English medias, will have to compete with Arsenal in the hunt for Tottenham 24-year-old Vlad Chiriches. Also Inter Milan are seeking a left back, and, as reported by Tuttosport, are in competition with AS Roma in the hunt for Torino 26-year-old Matteo Darmian.
