Juventus keen on Vecino but deal with Inter looks unlikely

Juventus have registered their interest in Inter midfielder Matias Vecino but a deal looks unlikely.

The 30-year-old Uruguayan midfielder, whose contract expires with the Nerazzurri in June next year, has only made one Serie A start under coach Simone Inzaghi this season, and he could be sold by the club in next month’s transfer window.

As reported by La Repubblica, Juventus looked to make an offer for Vecino but Inter were quick to refuse, not interested in selling the player to their historic rivals.

The 30-year-old Vecino, who joined Inter in August 2017 from Fiorentina, has made 15 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 388 minutes. In that time, he has scored one goal, in a 6-1 win over Bologna back in September.

Juventus are looking to strengthen their midfield in next month’s transfer window and believed that Vecino could be a decent option for a low price, but now they will have to look elsewhere.
