On him, as is known, there are Napoli and Sampdoria . The former are willing to shell out up to 20 million Euros for him, the seconds it would take a loan, only situation welcomed by Juventus, should change his mind racing.

Juventus and Chelsea had initially given an appointment in mid-January to talk about the redemption of the Colombian from the Blues.

Barcelona prepares shots of the transfer market for summer 2016: targeted Gundogan, Bernardeschi and Marco Alonso


Barcelona is clearly preparing for next summer, when it will again have the opportunity to make purchases in the market, given the expiry of the blockade imposed by FIFA . Barca sporting director, specialist in the international market, Ariedo Braida , is why traveling around Europe, looking for names that may be fine for the pink of Luis Enrique.

 In particular the research Braida related items that could be an alternative to the various Pogba , Verratti and Marquinhos , goals top the list but with a price tag excessive even for speakers of Catalan.

As for the role of central defender he liked much Stones of ' Everton . In summer the company Liverpool rejected an offer of 40 million by the Chelsea ; later also the United proved vigilant on the boy. Why not be definitely easy to buy it. Alternatively it continues to be monitored Laporte of ' Athletic Bilbao .

Right back. Are two names, Hector Bellerín of ' Arsenal and Federico Bernardeschi of Fiorentina . The second was viewed last week during the Serie A match against Sassuolo (also like Berardi ): versatile player, as Aleix Vidal can also play in midfield or in more advanced positions on the outside. About Fiorentina, Braida wanted to look even better performance of Marcos Alonso , but was only on the pitch for 11 minutes.

In midfield rise day after day quotes Ilkay Gundogan , seen at work in the match of Borussia Dortmund against Werder Bremen . Gundogan is proving to have recovered perfectly by his physical problems.

Then these are definitely the hot names for next summer. Season during which, Braida, after months without being able to start a negotiation, will be rather boil their mobile phone.

Llorente e Immobile ready to push the Sevilla to victory against Juventus

Fernando Llorente and Ciro Immobile , both in his first season with the Sevilla, not faring well. 'Lion King': 3 goals in 13 games. The center of Torre Annunziata: 2 goals in 12 tokens. Some tactical problem in the background, the offensive phase of Unai Emery requires certain movements, comparable only with time. Both, however, they will play tonight against their past: the Juventus .

The Old Lady has indelibly marked two careers. Still, thanks to Juventus, has left the football province to sample the big stage. Llorente, however, has run in Turin had the satisfaction of winning two league titles , two Italian Super Cups and one Italian Cup ; starred with Antonio Conte, less essential with Massimiliano Allegri . End result: exemplary professional finished strongly in the sympathies of the locker room and fans; at all happy - after several months - the consensual termination.

On the other hand, however, once again in Corso Galileo Ferraris seem to have been right. The move to make sure Mario Mandzukic , in fact, is proving apt. As well as it has saved 20 million of gross salary for a luxurious alternative, well, vote for strategy duo - Marotta Guild. Recent history tells how, dealing with management, Allegri would willingly accepted the permanence of the 30 year old striker of Pamplona.

Perfect man dressing room, never a controversy and a lot of dedication. And, in fact, Juventus in the closing bars of the last window summer has tried to place Simone Zaza at West Ham , operation set on the basis of the loan with the right of redemption, he skipped because of the hesitation of Lucan. At the end of the day, he granted, to pack was Llorente.

No regrets, the strikers of the Old Lady has made ​​a quantum leap forward, just think of the repeated benches Alvaro Morata . The 'Lion King' was unable to settle the mechanisms of Allegri, the dirty work behind the door, but few contributions incisors. Final result: 9 centers in 45 games under the court of the coach from Livorno. The Tuscan coach prefers tips with other characteristics, depth and not being held, that is not possible in the technical background a tower of the old school.

Nando in Vinovo was able to improve from the tactical point of view, certainly, exploring paths precendementie ever undertaken in the adventure of Bilbao. The farewell hath consumed the banner of good relationships, marriage is not very long but intense, well explained by the words issued by the Sevilla striker during the presentation of the match: " In Turin I had two wonderful years, many emotions. Playing for Juventus is incredible, I really miss the city . " In short, the great absentee of going to a physical problem - between memories and sentimental - do not miss his generous contribution in a race that promises to be hot.

Another possible star of the evening: Building. Discovered by the foresight of Ciro Ferrara , in 2008 head of the academy of Juventus, immediately it appeared a foreign body to the Green Line. Large potential expressed in 2009 by winning the Viareggio Tournament : twice in the final to Sampdoria . Bis in 2010, in the same event, with a hat-trick at 'Empoli . Comment of the "Cyrus has nothing to do with the Spring." And so it was. The evolution has run real occurred on the other side of the Po, the court master of Giampiero Ventura , one that we can do with talent. The rest, for now, not much: evil to Borussia Dortmund , impalpable to Sevilla. It 'time to surrender?
