Kostic, Paredes and Morata: Juventus on the charge

A meeting between Massimiliano Allegri and Juventus confirmed that their top three targets now are Filip Kostic, Leandro Paredes and Alvaro Morata. 

The Bianconeri’s squad is still looking a little incomplete ahead of the rapidly approaching Serie A season and the club are working hard to try and finalise a few more deals ahead of their season opener against Sassuolo on August 15. 

As detailed by Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus’ top priority is brining in a new winger and the main target for this is Kostic. West Ham’s attempts prove that Eintracht Frankfurt want at least €20m for the player, forcing the Bianconeri to send in a convincing offer. 

Another key target is Paris Saint-Germain’s Paredes, who has a €15m price tag. Further talks are needed to find an agreement with the French giants.

Finally, Juventus are still insistent on bringing back Morata. The Turin side will work as hard as possible on this deal, but if it’s truly impossible then they’ll focus on alternatives.
