Juventus close in on Francesco Lodi

Italian newspaper Tuttosport has learned that Juventus are the latest club to have joined the chase for Catania playmaker Francesco Lodi.

The Bianconeri are preparing for what should be a busy season next term and they are keen to add more bodies to the squad.

Reinforcements are expected in the centre of the park so it is not surprising that Juventus are being linked with a move for Francesco Lodi.

The Catania star is one of the most sought-after players in Italy, with Inter and Milan both attempting to sign the midfielder in the January transfer window.

Juventus officials see Lodi as a perfect understudy for Andrea Pirlo and are believed to be preparing a summer move for his services.

The 29-year-old midfielder has been in fine form over the last two seasons, scoring 15 goals in 69 Serie A matches and establishing himself as one of the league’s best midfielders.

He's.... I...... I..... but.....

I am calling his name for 2 seasons ... bring him !

At his age, playing for the club he plays for, we should get him for no more than 4-5Mill.

Stupid to start with depth rather than the big signings juventus actually needs. This pattern needs to be broken once and for all. Start with the big fish and then worry about everything else. Or else risk lessening the amount available to spend on players by strengthening already strong positions.

Marotta.......
