Juventus have started negotiations with Villarreal for Pau Torres, claim the Gazzetta dello Sport, and trying to cut into the €50m asking price.

The Bianconeri need a new defender to replace Matthijs de Ligt, who is in advanced talks for a switch to Bayern Munich this summer.

Their primary targets were Kalidou Koulibaly, who will have a Chelsea medical tomorrow, and Torino centre-back Gleison Bremer, who seems closer to Inter.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Pau Torres has given the all-clear via his agents to start negotiations with Juventus.

It’s claimed he had rejected Tottenham Hotspur last summer with the promise he’d be allowed to leave in 2022.

The asking price is €50m, far too much for Juve, but they are ready to start finding some common ground with Villarreal.

Pau Torres is 25 years old and has 19 senior caps for Spain, also scoring one goal.

He is a product of the Villarreal youth academy and played for them his entire career, save for a loan spell at Malaga in 2018-19.

Another candidate to replace De Ligt would be Gabriel from Arsenal, whose asking price is in the region of €40m.

  1. Just save the money and ask Cafu Danilo to fill one void job done. Spurs are leading the race and now Man City have entered the frame. If City come with an offer then it is game over. The choice is easy. On on hand you get Pep and on the other you get Conte. PhD Max is the arse option. A more realistic target for Juve is Otamendi, Pepe or CRAIG FORSYTH of Derby County. That is realistic for them.

  2. You’re such a great football pundit, Slowball. With all these insightful posts, maybe Football Italia will eventually give you a job. You deserve to be recognized.

  3. 😂😂😂😂 who the hell is Craig Forsyth @lord patron?

    Are you implying that Juventus have been reduced to shopping at teams in the English second division?

  4. @Bukruqul if you really want me that bad, just ask. I’ve got a nice juicy sausage that i give to PhD Max on a daily basis and he fills me up with his man juice like a cream filled donut.

  5. Hey slowball I’m confused, are you a fan of Juve ? Or are you just a really freakin obsessed hater of Allegri? You never have anything good to say about anything Juve or Allegri does.

  6. @Carlo, that lord guy just has no life. Instead of spending his summer with his family or friends, his only option is to refresh Football Italia pages to make dull comments, repeating the same old joke for the millionth time. He’s always the first to post on articles and even posts past 2 a.m. at night. I really pity the guy to spend his life like this. He probably operates from his base in his mother’s basement.

  7. its really a shame that Football-italia lets him comment and annoy all the other, normal readers here.

  8. Hope this is true, ive been calling jube to buy Pau Torres on every juve article and you lot know it – he’s the next best CB – about to hit his prime -has everything in his game.

    Please also buy Giorgio Scalvini – from atalanta – next best italian CB- 18yrs old – for the future

  9. @Zambrotta, stop talking about lord. Which one, who cares. I get it he lives rent free in your head. Summer is the worst when you’re all hot and sticky. Why not let me be your new tenant. I offer a good deal. You can play with my saveloy anytime and spread chip shop curry sauce on my knacker cracker. If you’re a good boy, you can suck me up like a vacuum. Do not wait many people have taken the offer and are gagging for more.

  10. Is lord crying again, god damn it someone give the guy something to suck on. Someone needs to connect him with his want to be dad Max ASAP. Poor kid is loosing his marbles.
