Juventus confirm interest in Carlos Tevez and reveal 'concrete' Chelsea offer for Neymar
Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed Juventus' interest in signing Carlos Tevez from Manchester City and Neymar of Santos; the Old Lady’s transfer supremo also confirmed Chelsea's 'concrete' offer for the in-demand Brazilian teenager.
Tevez, 27, is reportedly being chased by a long list of European clubs. He was recently seen in Milan, leading to suggestions he was on Inter's radar.
However, Juve are also looking, but a definite move is not assured at this stage says Marotta who was also asked about Santos ace Neymar.
"They [Tevez and Neymar] are two excellent players who we would like to have, but every team around the world wants them," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"Apart from the fascinating aspect, these are economic operations which are not easy. Plus, we know Chelsea have made a concrete move for Neymar."
The Old Lady has other interests in the Premier League - mainly Alberto Aquilani. The Italian midfielder is on loan at the Serie A side, but owned by Liverpool.
"We have an excellent relationship with Liverpool. We think we can find an agreement," he added.
He [Aquilani] is a great player and there is a right to buy, not obligation, which is high. We want to optimise a deal. We will meet them to reach a conclusion."
Closer to home Alessandro Del Piero seems on course to pen a new deal as his terms expire in June.
"I will stick to the facts. [President Andrea] Agnelli has talked to him and they have found an agreement. We just need to sign the paperwork," he concluded.
