Juve target Mexes and Clichy Saturday 3 July, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Philippe Mexes and Gael Clichy could increase the French contingent at Juventus, according to the Corriere dello Sport.
The Bianconeri officially started their season on Friday when the team came together for training.
They have already made five signings, the latest of which was Marco Motta from Udinese, and are targeting more for Gigi Del Neri’s squad.
According to today’s Corriere dello Sport newspaper, the push for Roma defender Mexes is still on despite setbacks.
The Giallorossi only want cash for the transfer, rejecting offers of Momo Sissoko, Christian Poulsen or Zdenek Grygera as part of the exchange.
Another French import for Juventus could well be Arsenal midfielder Clichy, although they baulked at the £12m asking price.
The Gunners can be talked into handing over Clichy in part-exchange for Brazilian Felipe Melo.
Despite the own goal and red card against Holland, Melo remains a target for Arsene Wenger.
