After announcing the arrival of 27-year-old winger Juan Cuadrado, Juventus are now trying to sign a new midfielder and, as reported by calciomercato.com, are preparing a strategy for Marseille 21-year-old Mario Lemina: the bianconeri could decide to sign immediately the Gabonese-born French player –valued about 12 million euros by his current club- if they will fail in signing their primary targets, or they could start a negotiation now and sign the youngster at the end of the season; moreover, Lamina is also a target for Napoli, even if the azzurri would like to obtain him on loan only; and who are the main targets for the Serie A defending champions? The Piedmont’s club has not renounced to Schalke 04 21-year-old Julian Draxler, and are ready to offer 22 million euros plus bonuses to the Knappen, while AC Milan 29-year-old Riccardo Montolivo is considered a last-minute option; moreover, Juve are in competition with the rossoneri themselves in the hunt for Zenit St. Petersburg 26-year-old Axel Witsel. On the other hand, Chelsea –as revealed by calciomercato.com’s expert Fabrizio Romano- are ready to offer 75 million euros plus bonuses to the bianconeri to obtain the Belgium international. Inter Milan keep on working to reinforce their offensive line, and –as outlined by the same media- are waiting for a definitive answer from Wolfsburg regarding 26-year-old winger Ivan Perisic.
