he Bianconeri are well known to have made the signing of a top-class centre midfielder their priority in the summer transfer market.
Juve have been linked with a host of players, most notably Werder Bremen’s Diego and Hamburg’s Rafael van der Vaart.
However it is now looking unlikely that either of these will be moving to Turin, as Claudio Ranieri feels that both players will not fit into his favourite 4-4-2 system.
The Tinkerman is looking for a midfielder who can both defend and attack. Napoli’s Marek Hamsik is admired, and Juve could be in a strong bargaining position to sign the Slovakian due to the presence of the Bianconeri-owned Marcelo Zalayeta and Manuele Blasi at San Paolo this season.
However Tuttosport says that Villarreal’s Marcos Senna could be the man to make the move.
Senna, who turns 32 in the summer, is a defensive centre midfielder, who is renowned for his passing and long-range shooting.
The Brazilian-born schemer plays his international football for Spain, and has won seven caps, although he only made one appearance during the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.
Senna will be available for €10m, a price that Juve sporting director Alessio Secco believes is reasonable.
Gianni Wilson
10mil euros for a 32 year old?
well done secco.
