Juventus are reportedly waiting for responses on offers for Javier Hernandez, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Stevan Jovetic.

The Bianconeri have been linked in recent weeks with each of these attacking stars and Tuttosport understand that offers for each of them have now been tabled.

For Manchester United’s Hernandez, it is understood that an initial loan bid of €2m has been made, alongside a purchase option included of €6m.

To Paris Saint-Germain for Lavezzi an offer of €2m for a 12-month loan has apparently been put forward, with a purchase option for the former Napoli winger set at €13m.

Meanwhile, for long-term target and former Fiorentina favourite Jovetic, Juve have reportedly once more asked for an initial loan deal at a rate of €2m, with the Manchester City forward’s purchase option set at €15m.

Obviously the report is not to be taken seriously, however one thing that puzzles me is the naming of three forwards who each bring something quite different to the club tactically and physically. Evidently Juventus plan to sign another forward before the end of the market, however the targets mentioned thus don't seem to be alternatives to each other but rather complements. Exactly what are each of you looking for in a new forward?

Juventus don’t intend to sell him, unless Storari asks to leave to be a starter in another team. In that case, Juventus would respect his choice. Sassuolo target Storari, but the negotiation is stalling at the moment.

The striker has already reached Atalanta’s pre-season camp, he joins on two-year loan with option to buy and counter-option to buy in favor of Juventus. After shining in the second half of the season at Siena, Rosseti moves to Serie A.

There is confidence coming from Greece, while Juventus are more cautious. Juventus are working on a lower fee compared to the rumoured €15M and they are looking to pay the figure in two years and include a percentage of a future sale in the deal. The right price could be €11M, at the moment Olympiakos don’t like the players Juventus tried to give them in exchange. But Juventus keep pushing, they want Manolas.

Also, Olympiakos is asking too much for him, they managed to reap Fulham with the Mitroglou deal back in January and they're trying to make the same with us.

Manolas is nothing like Bonucci I believe. I always described him to have the physical characteristics required to play in the EPL and the attitude to play in Serie A. His best characteristics are athleticism and power, he's a bit cocky at times too. Definitely needs to work on his concentration, will most probably improve with experience though.

It's only natural to see performances like those you describe. Manolas turned 23 only a month ago so I guess consistency will come with time and experience. He also started a bit shaky in the W.C, being his first major tournament with NT and all but had a great, great tournament next to Sokratis over all.
