As reported earlier, Juventus are tracking FC Porto 27 year old Fernando Francisco Reges, but the main move regarding their midfield could be the extension of 20 year old Paul Pogba, tracked by all the major European clubs: according to Tuttosport, the bianconeri’s General Manager Giuseppe Marotta is studying a strategy to keep the France international, and a meeting is scheduled for the next week. The Serie A defending champions are also working to extend the contract of 33 year old defender Andrea Barzagli –actually expiring in June 2015- as confirmed to TJ by Claudio Orlandini, agent of the Italy international. Moreover, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, also 30 year old right back Stephan Lichtsteiner, 36 year old goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, 29 year old center back Giorgio Chiellini and also the first team’s coach Antonio Conte will soon sign a new deal, while the future of 27 year old attacking midfielder Sebastian Giovinco remains uncertain. 31 year old Fabio Quagliarella and 30 year old Mirko Vucinic, both forwards, will certainly leave, with the Montenegro international who will probably join Inter Milan at the end of the season. Some players with just one more years on their contract are intended to leave AC Milan too: one of them is 27 year old right back Ignazio Abate, and to replace the Italy international, the rossoneri are thinking about Eintracht Frankfurt 23 year old Sebastian Jung and Everton 25 year old Seamus Coleman.
