The president spoke to Benfica TV: “We are not negotiating with Juventus, Luisao has three years left on his contract and therefore if Juventus want him, they will have to contact us. Luisao in his last interview said that he wanted to close his career here and this is what will happen.” Clear words that indicate that Benfica are not willing to satisfy the player and let him go for free. The Portuguese club was bothered by Juventus’ strategy, which reached an agreement with the player first. If Juventus really wanted Luisao, they’d need to reach an agreement with Benfica, which are resisting. They are furious with the player and his agent, who swore he would have stayed for good at Benfica. Juventus try to acquire Luisao, but the negotiation is very difficult because of Benfica’s opposition.

Juventus have joined Southampton, Roma and Lazio in chasing Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar.

The 29-year-old’s future in Birmingham remains in doubt, as he has one year left on his contract with Villa.

He already worked with Southampton manager Ronald Koeman at Feyenoord, so they are seen as the favourites.

Lazio have been linked with Vlaar for some time and Roma consider him a suitable alternative if Mehdi Benatia is sold to Manchester United or Chelsea.

According to the Daily Mail, Juventus are also joining the hunt for Dutch centre-back Vlaar this summer.

One of them was on the stands at Parc de Princes to watch PSG’s home debut. Pastore started, Lavezzi was subbed in after Ibra’s injury, Rabiot wasn’t even called up. Juventus eyed in particular Pocho Lavezzi, whose relationship with the French club is deteriorating. The extension is increasingly distant and the agents are working to find a team that can give him at least the same wages he has in France, slightly less than €5M. A lot. Then a fee would have to be negotiated with PSG. It would an important effort for everybody in Italy. In Eredivisie, Juventus’ representatives watched Feyenoord-Heerenveen, PSV-Nac and Vitesse-Cambuur. Today they’ll attend AZ-Ajax and the Otten Cup for U-19 players, organized by PSV. Maybe the new Depay and Wijnaldum will break out in this competition, the two Dutch international both scored a brace in PSV’s 6-1 win against Nac, while Juventus were scouting them. Juventus travel to study the players they have on their radar.

Benfica could report Juventus to FIFA for an illegal approach towards Luisao, according to Portuguese papers.

There had already been reports of Juve interest for the centre-back, who has a contract with Benfica until July 2017.

It was suggested they asked Luisao to find a way to terminate his contract by mutual consent so that he could join on a free transfer.

“There are no negotiations between us and Juventus,” declared Benfica President Luis Filipe Vieira.

“Luisao has three years left on his contract and therefore if Juventus want him, they have to contact us first.

“In his latest interview Luisao said he wanted to end his career here and that is what will happen.”

According to O Jogo, Benfica have also sent a formal warning to Juve headquarters making it clear they will report the club to FIFA if they persist in contacting Luisao.

Juventus are turning their attention towards Galatasaray defender Semih Kaya.

According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have set their sights on the 23-year-old Turkish talent.

He is accustomed to playing in a three-man defence or as right-back in a bank of four, so would suit both systems Massimiliano Allegri is experimenting with.

His price-tag is around €8m, but Tuttosport insist it can be negotiated down to €4.5m.

Juve have lost sight of previous target Kostas Manolas, who is set for a medical with Arsenal tomorrow.
