As perhaps admitted by their General Manager Giuseppe Marotta, Juventus are seeking a center back, and, as previously reported, the bianconeri are thinking about Tottenham 24-year-old Vlad Chiriches, who –as outlined by Tuttosport- could be the ideal option to replace 33-year-old Andrea Barzagli, still injured; another defender tracked by the Serie A defending champions is –according to the Corriere dello Sport- Galatasaray 23-year-old Semih Kaya: the Turkey international has four more years on his contract with the Aslan and is also tracked by Atletico Madrid and Manchester United. On the other hand, the Piedmont’s club will have to speed-up the negotiation for the new contract of their right back Stephan Lichtsteiner, who is about to become a free agent, and, as reported by the same media, remains a target for Manchester City; to replace the Switzerland international, Juve keep on thinking about city rivals Torino 25-year-old Matteo Darmian, but, as outlined by Leggo, the suitors of the Italy international are always more, first of all Inter and AC Milan: the two Lombard clubs are also in competition for HNK Rijeka 23-year-old forward Andrej Kramaric: as outlined by calciomercato.com, the Ukrainian club’s executives are in Milan to talk with their Italian counterparts.
