Juve begin Diego discussions
Tuesday 28 October, 2008
Juventus have reportedly launched a fresh bid to lure Werder Bremen midfield star Diego in January.
The Turin giants made a tentative attempt to sign the Brazilian international last year, but no concrete offer materialised.
According to Tuttosport, Diego's father Djair da Cunha, who is also his agent, is set to meet with Juve directors at the club's headquarters this morning to re-open negotiations between the two parties.
It has been suggested that around £15m will be needed to persuade Werder to release their grip on Diego and the Germans are likely to be open to the transfer as they have an abundance of midfield options.
Meanwhile, the Old Lady are being linked with 21-year-old Argentine defensive talent Bianchi Arce.
The San Lorenzo starlet is expected to fetch just £3m and could arrive as soon as January.
