Juventus are making progress in their bid to strengthen the squad in view of their likely return to Serie A, insists sporting director Alessio Secco.
The Bianconeri are being linked with new players on a daily basis, but Secco insists that their number of targets are decreasing rather than increasing.
“We are starting to tighten up the circle of players who are our market objectives,” noted the Bianconeri official.
“We are evaluating which options would be most advantageous for us and looking around to create a squad for the First Division.
“We are monitoring all options and not just watching players who are appearing in the Italian championship.”
Juventus’ Plan B this term has included the graduation of several youngsters like Matteo Paro and Claudio Marchisio, but Secco has suggested that may be difficult to repeat next term.
“In Italy, especially at the big clubs, the result is what is fundamental at the end of the day,” he continued.
“Other countries allow clubs to try out youngsters, but this is not always possible here. However, this is not to say that we are not counting on our younger players.”
Secco also moved to cool talk that Juventus would look to re-sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic after Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli expressed his regret at his summer sale to Inter.
“Who wouldn’t want him back? The President knows what he is talking about,” noted the official.
“Unfortunately his stay wasn’t compatible financially with us last summer and we knew he was good when we sold him.
“Unfortunately some of the sales were enforced.”
Juventus moved a step closer to Serie A with a 1-0 win at Pescara on Saturday and Secco is obviously delighted with how the campaign is shaping up.
“It was a fundamental victory on a number of levels,” he added. “It allowed us to move six points clear of second and eight of third, all with a game in hand.
“Now we have 13 games left and we must remain focused in order to make sure of promotion as soon as possible.”

Tuttosport titles that former Azzurri Coach Marcello Lippi believes Gianluigi Buffon will stay with Juventus and will take part in the club’s summer camp with Didier Deschamps, while he thinks that the Bianconeri will not sign Luca Toni, as they already have David Trezeguet, whom he considers one of the strongest goalscorers around.
