Three men on Juventus wishlist to replace Giaccherini

Juventus have identified three players who they would like to take the place of Emanuele Giaccherini in Turin, a report has revealed today.

The Azzurri international departed for Wearside in a €7.5 million move and the Bianconeri are keen on adding another face to replace the ex-Cesena man.

TMW report that the first name they are eyeing is Parma’s Jonathan Biabiany, who is co-owned along with Sampdoria, as they have been impressed by the Frenchman’s speed, adaptability and beating players when one-on-one although it is likely he would have to be deployed in a 4-3-3 formation.

Victor Ibarbo of Cagliari is the second name catching the attention of the Bianconeri who is another speedy attacker, having piqued their interest with his explosive displays towards the end of last season but the Isolani are thought to be requesting up to €15 million for the Colombian.

Finally, the last name they would like to bring to Juventus Stadium is Atalanta midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura, who scored seven goals in 35 games last year, and could be available for around €12m.
