Beppe Marotta confirmed Juventus are “very optimistic” on Emre Can, Alvaro Morata is practically impossible and Gigi Buffon could join PSG.
The game with Verona kicks off at 14.00 UK time (13.00 GMT), follow the action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.
It is the final match in a Bianconeri jersey for Buffon, but the goalkeeper hasn’t yet decided if he’ll retire.
“This is a day of celebration. A champion is leaving us, but he is a champion because he left behind great values that were not only expressed on the field, but above all of it,” Marotta told Mediaset Premium.
“He will have to decide between some positions behind a desk or to continue playing. If he should opt for this second course of action, then Paris Saint-Germain would be in the running.”
Coach Max Allegri said yesterday that he would most likely remain in Turin, despite interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
“We’ll meet with Allegri during the week and we have the conditions needed to extend this rapport. We’ll hear his desires, but in my view we’ll continue without problems.
“Morata always expressed sincere appreciation for Juventus and the city of Turin, but it was a very expensive transfer, so it’s practically impossible to get him back.
“Emre Can? I am very optimistic. You can read my smile…”
His Liverpool contract expires in June and it’s widely reported Can will be announced as a new Juve player after the Champions League Final.
