Juve preparing for Zaniolo and Gosens swoop

 

Serie A champions, Juventus are reportedly keen on Roma ace Nicolo Zaniolo, and Atalanta left-back Robin Gosens this summer.

According to transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla, the Bianconerri are preparing an offer around €50m plus bonuses, Pedulla, who said the cash should be enough to bring the midfielder to Turin.

Zaniolo’s future could be decided soon as Roma has some financial problems to contend with.

Pedulla further claimed that the 21-year-old remains a ‘priority’ signing for Juve as they had moved away from pursuing Sandro Tonali, who had reportedly agreed to terms with Inter Milan a few weeks back.

The Gialorrossi may have to sell the young talent if the Bianconerri presents an offer of around €50m plus bonuses, despite their preference for €60m.

It was gathered that Roma is keen on the preference partly because the Nerazzurri are entitled to 15 percent of any resale.

Although the interest is still there, the Old Lady may wait till August to make any deal with Roma, by the time they will be able to take better stock of the situation, with Real Madrid also monitoring his progress.

Zaniolo is fit after suffering a cruciate ligament injury.

The Old Lady is reportedly considering a move for Gosens as well. The league leaders are reportedly preparing €20m as well for him.

With Atalanta playing Juventus on Saturday, the leaders will have the chance to monitor Gosens during the match.

The 26-year-old German has scored nine goals and made six assists in 28 Serie A appearances so far this season.

Inter Milan is also believed to be interested in him, but the Italian media reported that the defender would prefer a move to the Bianconeri because they fit into his characteristics.

With just €10m paid to Barcelona for the swap deal of Arthur Melo and Miralec Pjanic, the fee shouldn’t be a problem to Juventus. They are ready to meet the valuation of the Dea.

With uncertainty surrounding the future of Mattia De Sciglio, Juve is expected to bring in at least one full-back this summer.
