After completing their defensive line with the signing of 34 year old Lucio, now Juventus executives can concentrate on seeking a new striker. As reported yesterday, after that 28 year old Robin Van Persie has announced that he won't extend his deal with Arsenal, the bianconeri and Manchester City are ready to compete to sign the Holland national. The Piedmontese club's General Manager Giuseppe Marotta is observing attentively the situation of the Dutchman, but also keeps other possibilities open. Napoli 25 year old Edinson Cavani has declared that he won't move, but, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid are still keen on the Uruguay national. An if thet would succeed in signing him, the merengues could let 25 year old Gonzalo Higuain -admired by Juve- free to leave. Moreover, the bianconeri are intentionned to sign also some young forwards, and seem to have carried out the negotiations with Atalanta for 20 year old Manolo Gabbiadini and with Genoa for 19 year old Richmond Boakye.

Yesterday Inter Milan goalkeeper Julio Cesar has declared that he won't leave despite the signing of Samir Handanovic, but, in the reality, the 32 year old seems always more attracted by the idea of playing with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at AC Milan. Regarding the situation of the Swedish star, there are, in any case, still many controversial versions. As reported by QS, the player's agent Mino Raiola has once again declared that he is not so sure that his client will remain; and it seems that some English club are observing the 30 year old's situation; but both Piersilvio Berlusconi and Chief Executive Adriano Galliani have substained that the player won't leave. Galliani has also declared that Milan's market is over, but, according to Tuttosport, the rossoneri are still fighting with city rivals Inter for Manchester City midfielder Nigel De Jong.
