Juventus coach Massimo Allegri has always had a fondness for Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas and Tuttosport claims that the 49-year-old tactician is about to try to finally land the 29-year-old Chelsea player. The bianconeri has been searching for a replacement for Paul Pogba and having already lost out on Andre Gomes and with another Chelsea midfielder, Serbian Nemanja Matic, seemingly key to new boss Antonio Conte’s plans this season, Fabregas has emerged as the new number one target.
 

The Blues paid Barcelona €33 million for the player back in 2014 and Allegri has been a long-time admirer ever since his time in charge at Milan. According to the Turin based journal, the Spaniard tops the Juve wish-list with Inter’s Marcelo Brozovic and Roma’s Leandro Paredes a close second and third respectively. With bianconeri striker Simone Zaza about to be sold to Wolfsburg for €25 million, funds may be instantly available to make an assault for the Spanish midfielder.  

Inter are on the verge of signing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Mario reports Corriere dello Sport. The 23-year-old could be heading to Serie A on an initial season-long loan of €15 million, with a further €35 million, changing hands next summer.

Napoli are lining-up Torino defender Nikola Maksimovic to replace Kalidou Koulibaly, should the Frenchman leave for Chelsea this summer (Corriere dello Sport). 

La Stampa meanwhile, suggests that Chelsea are also in the running for the 24-year-old Serbian.


 

Corriere dello Sport states that Napoli are about to make a raid on Dynamo Zagreb for Croatian midfielder Marko Rog. The 21-year-old could be heading to Serie A as early as next week.  

Juventus will target Inter full-back Danilo D’Ambrosio if Milan’s Mattia De Sciglio decides to stay-put this summer (Gazzetta dello Sport). The rossoneri have reportedly put a €30 million price-tag on the 23-year-old with Napoli also chasing his signature.
 

Torino full-back Bruno Peres is still firmly on the radar of Roma (Tuttosport). The giallorossi have been heavily linked with a move for the 26-year-old Brazilian.
 

Tuttosport also claims that Colombian midfielder Juan Cuadrado could be on the verge of a surprise move back to Juventus. The 28-year-old spent last season on-loan in Turin from Chelsea. Milan are also showing strong interest in the player.

 

West Ham could be the surprise final destination for Juventus attacking midfielder Roberto Pereyra. Corriere dello Sport claims that the Hammers have offered to take the 25-year-old on a season-long loan for €1 million before completing a full transfer next summer.
