Fabio Quagliarella could become Juventus’ next transfer target, according to the latest reports in Italy.
The Sampdoria hitman impressed in Serie A this year by scoring 13 Serie A goals, including several spectacular strikes.
The versatile attacker ended the season with a sensational brace in Italy’s 2-0 win over Lithuania in their Euro 2008 qualifying match on Wednesday, only his third appearance for the Azzurri.
Quagliarella, who is co-owned by Sampdoria and Udinese, was bean heavily linked with Inter over the past few months, but the Nerazzurri decided to turn their attention to Cagliari star David Suazo.
Juventus might now decide to make a move for the 23-year-old, especially if Milan confirm the £17m price tag on Alberto Gilardino’s head.
The Bianconeri are looking to strengthen their striker department seeing as David Trezeguet is yet to renew his deal with the Old Lady, who might decide to cash in on the French international.
New Juve Coach Claudio Ranieri has announced he wants at least four strikers and Quagliarella would add to Alessandro Del Piero, Raffaele Palladino and Marcelo Zalayeta, meeting the tactician’s request.
The Blucerchiato, who is also a reported target for Manchester United, declared that the only thing that matters for him is to be granted continuous playing time.
“I am on holiday from tomorrow and cannot wait to rest. There is time for the transfer market,” said Quagliarella after the victory against Lithuania.
“I am on a co-ownership deal and that may be renewed. The important thing now is for me to play consistently.”
