Juventus agrees deal with Atalanta for Gabbiadini

Juventus has agreed a deal with Atalanta over the signing of Manolo Gabbiadini, who the Bianconeri plan to loan to Bologna for a season, Goal.com understands.

The Turin club has been tracking the Italy Under-21 international for some time, and has been forced into action by Udinese's sudden interest in the highly-rated forward.

Indeed, Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici spent all of Wednesday thrashing out a player-plus-cash agreement with Atalanta that will see the Old Lady pay approximately 3.8 million euros for co-ownership of Gabbiadini and hand over Australia international James Troisi, who spent last season with Turkish outfit Kayserispor, to the Orobici.

Once the deal is finalized, the Serie A champion will honor a long-standing agreement with Bologna to send the player to the Dall'Ara for a year. Juve also intends to loan the Rossoblu right back Marco Motta, who is deemed surplus to requirements by coach Antonio Conte.

In addition, Bologna sporting director Roberto Zanzi raised the possibility of taking Simone Padoin off the Bianconeri's hands for the upcoming season during talks with Paratici on Wednesday, but the midfielder could also be used as makeweight in any potential move for Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic.

Though Juve will have little problem finding potential suitors for Padoin, it is still having great difficulty in drumming up interest in either Vincenzo Iaquinta or Jorge Martinez.

Nobody is interested in signing the pair outright. Consequently, the Bianconeri are now ready to cancel Iaquinta's contract and offering to contribute towards Martinez's wages should anyone be willing to take the Uruguayan on loan.

There is a lot of potential news in this article besides Gabbiadini. Motta might be going to Bologna on loan. Canceling Iaquinta's contract. Sending Martinez on loan.

I hope we get some money back from Iaquinta and Martinez. Is still can't believe we ever signed a player like Martinez . Iaquinta was actually good for Juve until he got injured.
