Juventus: Quagliarella towards Spain. AC Milan: Honda could still join
As reported earlier today, Juventus executives are actually focused on selling some of their players: fichajes.com confirms that Valencia are keen on 30 year old forward Fabio Quagliarella, who is perhaps also tracked by Norwich City; on the contrary, interviewed by calciomercato.com, Everton Operations & Club Secretary David Harrison has declared that the Toffes can’t afford the transfer fee or the salary of 29 year old striker Alessandro Matri. As reported earlier, the bianconeri are ready to extend the contract of 28 year old defender Giorgio Chiellini: according to Il Giorno, the Piedmontese club has refused a 20 million euros offer made by Real Madrid for the Italy international, and has also refused to yield their midfielders Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio.
During his interview, Harrison has also talked about an AC Milan target, Fiorentina 21 year old second striker Adem Ljajic: the member of Everton executive board has confirmed that his club has been tracking the Serbia international in the last two years, and that their new manager Roberto Martinez is in good terms with the viola’s Technical Director Eduardo Macia, but has also declared that there have been no negotiation at least for the moment. The rossoneri, in any case, keep also on evaluate other options: the Lombard club, in fact, have not yet renounced to CSKA Moscow 27 year old attacking midfielder Keisuke Honda.
