Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Juventus are considering making a bid for Spanish midfield starlet Joaquin, according to reports in Italy.
The Bianconeri have been monitoring the progress of the Real Betis star for some time but have been put off by an asking price of £21m.
In fact, the 24-year-old’s has a £41m minimum release fee built into his contract, which expires in 2010, but it is thought that the Seville-based club are said to be willing to do business for around £14m following the winger’s loss of form.
The Spaniard, who was recently dropped from Luis Aragones’ national team, is highly rated by Juve Coach Fabio Capello and has also attracted the interest of a number of other clubs, including Fiorentina.
Should Joaquin - who has managed just one goal so far this season - move to Turin in the summer, Juve may propose a part-exchange deal involving Adrian Mutu, who has found first-team appearances hard to come by at the Stadio Delle Alpi.<br><br>Source: Football Italia
