According to L’Equipe, Menez is one step away from signing for Juventus in January from Ligue One side Paris Saint-Germain.

The French midfielder signed for PSG in 2011 from Roma and helped them win the Ligue One title for the first time in 19 years last season. However with his contract due to expire in the summer and a renegotiation apparently stalling, Menez is set to exit the club in January.

Menez, who has 24 caps for France, had previously been linked with a move to top of the table Liverpool. Juventus have emerged as favourites for his signature however, as PSG look to offload the midfielder before losing him for nothing in June.

Rodgers is reportedly looking to strengthen in January as looks to affirm Liverpool’s brilliant start to the season.

Lets hope this is true.Nothing coming from Di Marzio's side still.Would be a decent addition to the squad.

^^Just as i thought and its probably a wise decision too.

I dont really think this team requires any additional reinforcements up until the end of the season.Anything else would just be a bonus.Maybe Menez can be bought to play 4-3-3 from time to time but he's not a big necessity right now.

Gazzetta.it - Juventus betting on Menez. Likely developments in the coming days

Beppe Marotta betting on Menez. And 'as reported Gazzetta.it colleagues, pointing out that in the next few days could be interesting developments. It could therefore arrive from France and precisely from Paris Saint-Germain, the outside so desired by Antonio Conte. The former Roma player is out of contract with the club transalpine and therefore may arrive as early as January in black and white at the cost of balance.

Giovinco out ,Menez in ?

Wouldnt mind it all if i'm being honest here.

One is barely playing,while the other atleast gives us an option to play 4-3-3.I'm all for it.

I saw Giccherini as very important player and I still see him as same plus he was Italy's best player in the Confederation Cup. He was 2nd in created chances after Pirlo if anyone remembers so I would take him back with both hands

True, Devi, he is being wasted in sunderland

why are people not posting the Mandzukic and Nani stories?

apparently we have an agreement with Mandzukic for summer, Nani though if we sell Vucinic he'll join is in Jan, I would seriously take Nani over Menez, I believe he is still quality whereas Meh-nez ehm....

Also agree with Surag, Giach is the past we should move on.....

by Tomwin Lannister Fri 27 Dec 2013 - 22:56

If Giac is available for like 2M we might aswell get him back

He's hard working
Willing to be rotated
Obviously knows our system better than any other player we could bring in

He could be the 5th CM we need. And we do need one so long as we stick to a 3 man CM system.

As for Mandzukic, he's Contes wet dream. Him and Tevez could and definitely would press any opponents back line into some mistakes. I'm all for it

Nani, well. I don't like the guy but he can be excellent and if Conte can get him performing consistently, then we have ourselves a genuine quality wide man who isn't out of our price range.

Big-name Italian duo fight to land misfiring attacker.

Tottenham Hotspur are already making plans to ship misfiring forward Erik Lamela back to Serie A when the winter transfer window opens again for business next month, according to reports in the Daily Express.

The Argentina international has only been at White Hart Lane since last summer, when Lamela originally joined the north London club from Serie A giants AS Roma for an initial transfer fee of £25.8 million, although that could eventually rise to as much as a club-record £30m depending on certain add ons.

However, in the short time that the wide man has been in the capital, Lamela has found it desperately hard to settle, and now it is understood that the palyer’s agent, Pablo Sabbag, has already started to enter into negotiations with Serie A outfit Inter Milan about the possibility of signing his client in January.

Meanwhile, Italian champions Juventus are also said to be interested in snapping the 21-year-old up, with the Bianconeri understood to even be prepared to offer long-term Spurs target Mirko Vucinic as part of any deal for the South American, a factor that could ultimately tip the balance in the Turin side’s favour.

Juve are on the look out for more cut-price deals. No player will join unless others leave. Juve to adopt ‘simple’ transfer strategy during January transfer window.

Menez — More ‘low-cost’ transfer deals for Juve. Such as the one that could see Jeremy Menez join the club. He’s out of contract at Paris Saint-Germain and has been all but discarded from the future plans of PSG by coach Blanc. It would take as little as €3.5M to prise the player away from the club immediately, but Beppe Marotta is hoping to get an even better deal. And before Juve sit down and talk money with PSG, the Bianconeri want to get assurances from the player that he will only listen to offers from them. There has already been some contact between the interested parties, and it is possible that Menez’s entourage will meet up with Juve at the start of the New Year to thrash out a deal with the Italian champions.

Giaccherini — The likelihood of Lucas (who will cost too much) and Biabiany joining the club appear to be diminishing, especially as other players are being watched by the Bianconeri. They include former Juve player Emanuele Giaccherini, currently at Sunderland. Nothing has been finalised and the possibility of the Bianconeri asking for the player on loan seems high. Meanwhile, Giovinco is attracting interest from Juve’s city rivals, Torino.

by GIGItheBest Sat 28 Dec 2013 - 9:52

Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport understands that Juventus are planning an ambitious bid for Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria.

The Bianconeri appear to be on course to their third straight Serie A title, but the club officials are keen to make that extra step in Europe after Antonio Conte’s team were eliminated in Champions League group stages this season.

As a result, they plan to add a couple of marquee signings ahead of the 2014/2015 season, with Angel Di Maria one of the first names on their hit-list.

The Argentine is reportedly unhappy with the lack of playing time at Santuago Bernabeu and is likely to be available for sale at the end of the season.

Juventus believe an offer in the region of €30 million would be required to wrap up the deal for the 25-year-old midfielder.

@Elm Good to see you baaack!
Tbh, I don't see us maki g any big deals in january. Marrota confirmed that. So I dont know why we are talking about mrnez and mandzukic as if they are coming.

Those are from BS sources mate.And really we should stop talking about CF's for now with Llorente improving with each game.

Next summer we should concentrate on adding creativity in the form of wingers or AM's.

by S Sat 28 Dec 2013 - 13:54

Apart from Di Marzio(Sky Italia) and Gazzetta to a certain extent,none of the other sources are credible when it comes to Juve transfer news.So its a waste of energy of you people getting excited regarding every transfer rumor only to get disappointed later on.

Trust my judgement guys :coffee:

There is "Ongoing Contact" with PSG for Menez, Juve just need to pay 3.5 Million, but Marotta is hoping for an additional discount ( GdS)

=====

Marino spoke to TuttoSport about the Bianconeri’s monitoring of the two starlets, while also commenting on Atalanta’s business relationship with the reigning Serie A champions.
“Juventus have been following Bonaventura, but now Baselli as well,” said the executive.
“There are many clubs following the latter, he holds a stigma of a top player and first reminded me of [Marek] Hamsik.

“The relationship with Juventus? We’re fine. We’re ready to strike up new business immediately after [Simone] Padoin, [Federico] Peluso and [Manolo] Gabbiadini.

“Given the relationship, it won’t be hard to find new market agreements soon.”

Juve & Barca fight for Ter Stegen

Despite consistent reports that Marc-Andre ter Stegen will move to Barcelona, German media outlets insist that Juventus could sign the goalkeeper.

The Borussia Monchengladbach youngster has been heavily linked with a switch to Camp Nou in the summer.

But Bild write this afternoon that the Bianconeri and Arsenal could now swoop under the Blaugrana’s nose and sign the shot-stopper.

Antonio Conte’s men are willing to pay around €12m for the Germany international.

----------

Man Utd set €22m Nani asking price

Newspapers in Britain suggest that Juventus will have to pay €22m if they want to sign Nani from Manchester United.

The Portuguese winger was heavily linked with a switch to Turin in the summer, but with his contract recently renewed at Old Trafford, the Sunday Mirror believes that Antonio Conte’s men will have to splash out in order to get their man.

The 27-year-old has been in and out of David Moyes’ XI this season thanks to poor form and injuries, but the Bianconeri are still said to be keen on the winger.

The Serie A leaders though, will have to pay €22m in January should they still want Nani.

Lotito willing to let Hernanes go

Lazio President Claudio Lotito will let Hernanes leave for offers around €18m, reports suggest.

Il Messagero believe that with the playmaker’s contract talks at a standstill, the Biancocelesti’s chief is willing to cash-in on the Brazil international.

The 28-year-old is trying to hold out for €2.5m per season at Lazio, whereas the capital club are firm in their proposal of €1.8m.

As such, the President is willing to sell Hernanes if an offer of €18m comes in.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Inter are all said to be keen.

by salmano9 Sun 29 Dec 2013 - 22:41

Tuttosport are saying that Juve are willing to spend 22m on Nani given that he is fully recovered from knee injury
