Juventus are seeking a new center back, and, as reported yesterday, are in competition with AS Roma in the hunt for River Plate 21-year-old Eder Balanta and Manchester City same-aged Matija Nastasic: as reported this morning by Tuttosport, the bianconeri would like to obtain the former Fiorentina player on loan with right to buy, and sign the Serbia international on permanent basis at the end of the season for seven million euros; another option for the Serie A defending champions’ defense remains Empoli 20-year-old Daniele Rugani, that the Piedmont’s club’s executives will observe during the game between the Italian Under 21 year-old national team and their same-aged Slovakians; the match will be the chance for Juve also to observe Atalanta right back Davide Zappacosta and Atalanta midfielder Daniele Baselli. On the other hand, the bianconeri, as reported yesterday, will have to deal with the situation of 27-year-old Arturo Vidal, who seems to be pushing to join Manchester United, but, still according to Tuttosport, some Premier League clubs –as well as Paris Saint-Germain- are also interested in 25-year-old left wingback Kwadwo Asamoah. Due to the injury suffered by training with the Italian national team, Inter Milan 28-year-old forward Pablo Daniel Osvaldo will have to remain out of the pitch for at least one month; the nerazzurri are then seeking an alternative on the transfer market, and, as reported by the Corriere dello Sport, Liverpool 23-year-old Fabio Borini and Tottenham 29-year-old Roberto Soldado remain concrete options.
