Juve's assault on Diego - The Werder Bremen midfielder is expensive, but the Bianconeri will try

Juve In New Assault For Diego?
Juventus could be ready to launch a fresh assault on Werder Bremen star Diego, according to Tuttosport.
The Bianconeri are well-known to be in the market for a top-class centre midfielder and it had seemed inevitable that they would sign Liverpool battler Momo Sissoko.
However the deal to purchase the Malian international seems to have hit a snag somewhere along the line, and Juve President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has stated in the past few days that no signings would be made in January.
Nevertheless this has not prevented plans being made for the summer transfer market, and Diego is now believed to be top of the Bianconeri’s shopping list.
The Brazilian playmaker is valued at a costly €30m, which could cause problems given Juve’s preference in the recent past to sign a few players at smaller fees, rather than just one big name at a much higher price.
Following last summer’s disastrous transfer campaign when Alessio Secco and the Juve money men spread their outlay on a number of targets, including midfield flops Tiago Mendes and Sergio Almiron, many supporters are hoping that this summer they will spend their money on one guaranteed top-class name.
Diego shot to fame in Brazil as a 17-year-old when he formed a devastating partnership at Santos with current Real Madrid star Robinho. The duo led the team to the Brazilian Championship in 2002.
