EXCLUSIVE Romano: Candreva between Inter and Juve
Moreover, the Italy international is also on Juventus’ wishlist, even if the bianconeri are not intentioned to spend the €25 million required by Lotito; so, the Serie A defending champions’ priority is try to keep the 28-year-old Juan Cuadrado, even though it seems difficult that Antonio Conte will renounce to bring the Colombia international back to Chelsea. An alternative remains Sassuolo 24-year-old Sime Vrsaljko, also considering the good relations between the two clubs. Juve consider then Candreva an option but not a priority.
For this reason, Inter will try to speed up the negotiation for the former Udinese man: the Lombard club’s Sporting Director Piero Ausilio is thinking about offering €20 million plus bonuses to Lazio, taking advantage of the player’s will and of Juve’s doubts.
