After the interest of Inter, Juventus has decided to accelerate the negotiation of Meira. The bianconeri have already established contact with Stuttgart and with the agent of the player, the Rogon Sportmanagement. Juventus has made an offer of 8.5 million euro for the defender while Stuttgart asks 10. It is likely that once negotiations are finished, the fee will be paid in intermediate figures. To make things difficult, Inter, under the demand of Figo has been interested in the defender. Although it seems Meira is the alternative to Kovac if that deal falls through, but he is not an urgent necessity. Ranieri has recently stated that the market is closed for Juventus, and they are not in the hunt for Meira as he already has Criscito and Molinaro. Juventus has infact decided to sell one defender, the candidates are Boumsong and Legrottaigle. The controversy involving Chiellini has hinted that he too might be on his way. Yesterday Ranieri stated his intentions to clear the air with Chiellini, but that his stay at Juventus isnt certain. First of all, Blanc wants to verify if the offer of 8 million from Liverpool is real. If it is true, then Juventus might ask Chiellini to prepare his suitcase. Along with interest from England, Genoa and Napoli have declared their intent on signing the player. Juventus might look to use the money from Chiellini's possible departure to buy Meira. In the next 2 or 3 days both operations will have developed more and arrive to their conclusion.
