Juventus Make Offer For Dossena – Report
Juventus have made a €6.5m bid for Udinese star Andrea Dossena, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 26-year-old has been a revelation for the Zebrette this season, and his attacking raids down the left-hand side saw him make his Italy debut last November against South Africa.
Juventus are searching for a left back to challenge the error-prone Cristian Molinaro next season.
The Gazzetta says that the Bianconeri have already presented Udinese with a preliminary €6.5m bid. This is likely to be well under the valuation of the player, given his quality, however it is just the beginning of the bargaining.
Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri is preparing for next year’s probable Champions League foray and wants two quality players in each position.
Another possible left-back choice could be Lyon’s Fabio Grosso, however his transfer value of €11m is likely to scare Juve off.
Finally the Old Lady are also looking for a right-back, and Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna, also valued at €11m, is said to be an option.
Sagna only moved to North London last summer from French club Auxerre, and has been a regular this season.
