Juventus looking to rope in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461 – Serie A news
Serie A side Juventus are closing in on signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 winger Michel Bastos according to reports in Turin.
According to an Italian sport newspaper, Juventus have been monitoring the Brazilian’s progress for a long time and are very keen to bring the left-footed player to Giuseppe Meazza as soon as the summer 2011 transfer window opens.
The highly rated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international was linked to a possible exit from the Ligue 1 side during the January 2011 transfer window. However, he chose to stay at Lyon and made it clear that he will see through the remainder of the ongoing 2010-11 season at
Lyon but never gave an indication of whether he will extend his stay in France.
Furthermore, with Juventus lacking firepower to propel their chances of becoming a strong Serie A side, the board of directors of the Old Lady consider Bastos as the prefect addition to a side that has faltered in the season after a promising beginning.
It has also been reported that Sporting Director Giuseppe Marotta has reportedly sent an official to Lyon in order to discuss a possible deal for the Lyon talisman. It is also expected that in the coming weeks, Juventus will table an offer for the Brazilian.
It is still not certain if La Vecchia Signora will be willing to meet Lyon’s asking price. In 2009, Les Gones paid Lille 18 million Euros for Bastos and it is clear that they would want to make profit from any deal regarding the selling of the player who
has become a big name in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 since his arrival at Lyon.
Meanwhile, Juventus are also targeting Barcelona youngster http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bojan-Krkic-c7794 as soon as the summer window opens. The young Spaniard has played over 100 games for Barcelona but this season he has found first team opportunities hard to come by, largely due to the
impressive forms of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 and manager Josep Guardiola’s preference of using Pedro instead of him.
It remains to be seen if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
