Simone Zaza is reportedly more likely to make a summer move to Juventus than his Sassuolo teammate Domenico Berardi.
La Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Bianconeri director Beppe Marotta is tracking both players but that Zaza is considered more ready for the step up.
Simone Zaza is reportedly more likely to make a summer move to Juventus than his Sassuolo teammate Domenico Berardi.
La Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Bianconeri director Beppe Marotta is tracking both players but that Zaza is considered more ready for the step up.
However, Berardi’s hat-trick against Milan on Sunday provided a reminder of the 20-year-old’s talent and Juve could be convinced to take the option to sign him for €15m before June 10.
Should the Old Lady delay, the fee would rise to €20m for the 10 days following that date and the Turin giants could be tempted to sign the youngster before sending him out on loan.
The newspaper has reported that Juventus will only move for their major targets Edinson Cavani, Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao or Gonzalo Higuain if Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente leave.
However, Arturo Vidal has been linked with a move to Liverpool and it is believed that the Chilean’s sale could result in Paul Pogba remaining at the club.
As a replacement, the club are believed to be lining up Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan, whose future is currently being discussed between Roma and Cagliari, the two clubs that co-own him.
Alternative midfield targets for the Old Lady are said to be Ramires of Chelsea and Zenit St Petersburg’s Belgian international Axel Witsel.
