Juve line up 'new Maicon'
Wednesday 29 October, 2008
There are reports that Juventus see Brazilian starlet Felipe Mattioni Rohde as a possible New Year reinforcement.
The Bianconeri are expected to add new recruits when the transfer window reopens after a tough start to the campaign.
A number of names have been linked with the Turin giants and the latest is Gremio defender Felipe.
The 20-year-old right-back has represented his nation at Under-21 level and has been compared to Inter ace Douglas Maicon due to his attacking prowess and pace.
According to Calciomercato.com, Juve have sent scouts to watch Felipe and the Old Lady may try and persuade him to relocate to Italy in January.
Although there are many other interested parties, it has been suggested that the Bianconeri are the only club ready to meet Felipe's £8m price tag.

Bah, £8m. That's 10m eur. Can anyone imagine our board splashing 10m for an unknown 20yo Brazilian RB ?
