As reported earlier today, Juventus have joined Inter Milan in the hunt for River Plate 21-year-old Eder Balanta, but the main competitor for the nerazzurri seems to be Valencia: as outlined by calciomercato.com, in fact, the Spanish club has offered 6,5 million euros to Los Milionarios; the only problem for los Che is that for the moment they can’t sign a non-EU player, so the duel between the two clubs for the Colombia international will continue. Difficult task for the nerazzurri even regarding their midfield: according to the Daily Mirror, in fact, also Galatasaray are interested in Cardiff City 27-year-old Gary Medel. Meanwhile, the Lombard club keeps on working to sell some of its players, and Monaco keep on tracking both 21-year-old forward Mauro Icardi and 27-year-old midfielder Fredy Guarin. On the contrary, interviewed by FcInternews.it. Renzo Contratto, agent of 23-year-old midfielder Joel Obi (last season on loan at Parma), has declared that his client has some concrete chances to remain at “San Siro”. Finally, Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has told Sky Sport that he admires 34-year-old Hugo Armando Campagnaro, but that the Argentine is not the only option for their defense. City rivals AC Milan keep on seeking a new winger, and are also thinking about Newcastle United 27-year-old Hatem Ben Arfa: as explained by calciomercato.com, the France international would like to leave and has only one year left on his contract, but the Magpies’ request remains high.
