Juve Pull Out Of Diego Race – Report
Juventus have pulled out of the race to sign Werder Bremen star Diego on the orders of Coach Claudio Ranieri, according to Tuttosport.
The playmaker was believed to be the Bianconeri’s primary transfer target for the summer as they aimed to bring in some much needed flair and creativity into their pragmatic midfield.
However question marks over whether the move could go ahead started to appear last weekend when first Diego, and then his club, stated that they had no interest in discussing a transfer.
Tuttosport now says that Claudio Ranieri does not want to sign the player because he feels that his individualism in the centre of midfield will not fit in with his preferred 4-4-2 formation.
The Brazilian’s strongest position is in the hole behind the front two, but The Tinkerman wants players who are more disciplined and can both attack and defend.
It remains to be seen who Ranieri has in mind to fill this role but it is believed that he is thinking on the lines of a box-to-box player in the mould of Frank Lampard.
Indeed the Chelsea man may even be an option as he was linked heavily with a move to Turin before Christmas.
Ranieri was responsible for launching the England international’s career when he signed him for Chelsea from West Ham.
