Juve: four clubs after Llorente. Roma: keen on two Tottemham players
Also Serie A defending champions Juventus seem to be already active on the transfer market. During the last window, the Piedmontese club’s executives have not succeeded in signing a new wingback, as required by the first team’s coach Antonio Conte, and in the future could swoop on Fiorentina 25 year old Juan Cuadrado; the Colombia international is in co-ownership between the viola and Udinese, and Juve, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, could try to buy the Friulan club’s 50%, but at the end of the season the player could have a total evaluation of more than 15 million euros. Some important changes are expected regarding the Piedmontese team’s offensive line: 28 year old Fernando Llorente, who has joined at the beginning of the Summer as a free agent, is having some difficulties in Turin, and, as reported by both English and Spanish medias, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Barcelona are ready to swoop on the former Athletic Bilbao striker; on the contrary, the bianconeri are tracking Anzhi Makhachkala 23 year old Lacina Traoré: interviewed by Tuttosport, Dimitry Seluk, agent of the Ivory Coast international, has declared that moving to Turin would be a dream for his client.
Despite an excellent start in the Italian league, AS Roma are already working to reinforce their team: considering the good relations with Tottenham, the giallorossi could sign two midfielders, 22 year old Lewis Holtby -also tracked by Inter Milan- and 24 year old Sandro, that the Spurs, according to TalkSport, are intentioned to yield.
