Juventus are reportedly in talks with Barcelona to take David Villa on loan for six months in January.

The Bianconeri are looking for a ‘top player’ to strengthen their front line and have been linked with numerous options, including Didier Drogba, Athletic Bilbao outcast Fernando Llorente and even Celtic’s Gary Hooper.

According to Sky Sport Italia this evening, talks have begun with Barcelona to sign Villa on a six-month loan deal.

It is claimed the Catalans would be prepared to release the World Cup winner and even pay a portion of his wages.

Villa just turned 31 and has not found his form since returning from eight months out with a fractured tibia.

He made his comeback in August, but has barely featured for Barça, so a loan to Juventus would give him an opportunity to play more regularly.

However, the problem with the transfer is that Villa would not be available to play in the Champions League.

"There is a very important update regarding the market of Juventus. Why is there a chance for Juventus to take David Villa on loan until June." We broke the news a few minutes ago, the team of market Sky Sport 24 . The club is looking for a striker for six months and would welcome the hypothesis of the loan.


Tomorrow - refer journalists issuer satellite - there will be a meeting in the company, with management and coach Antonio Conte, to plan strategies for the January market. The Barcelona striker is not playing a lot and wants to re-launch. The club blaugrana would be willing to pay even part of the engagement, because engagement Villa has a very very high: around eight million euro. Of course, we should divide the figure, because it would only be a loan of six months. With a help of Barcelona would be feasible operation.

The problem is that Villa will not play in the Champions League because it has already been used with the Catalan club. Precisely for this reason, Juventus does not appear convinced. The idea, however, and there leaders Juventus are considering it seriously.

Villa deal can be good for both clubs, villa will get playing time and juve will have a top class striker at least for 6 months. However we can't expect villa to play with his heart for juve and we still need striker for CL. Maybe we get both of them (villa & drogba)

I am sure Marotta will ask for buy out clause

I don't believe any rumor for any player that can't play in CL.

Drogba is a rumor. Villa is a rumor. Our best hope is to bring back some young talent to cover Bendtner's injury.

El Guaje was born to score goals! We can always dream
