Juventus to swap Melo for Clichy?
Juventus hope to tempt Arsenal into parting with Gael Clichy by offering Felipe Melo in exchange, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.
The Bianconeri are in the market for a left-back, as they intend to sell Fabio Grosso following a disappointing campaign in Turin.
Clichy has emerged as their No 1 target, partly because Juventus are aware of Arsenal's interest in Melo and feel such an exchange would benefit both parties.
Juventus spent €21m on Melo last summer and hope to recoup as much of that fee as possible over the next month or so.
However, given Melo's dire season, Il Corriere understands that Juventus and Arsenal could settle on a straight swap with little or no money changing hands.
