Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has revealed that the Old Lady are interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira and Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto this summer.
Both players will be out of contracts with their current clubs in June and will be available on free transfers, which the Bianconeri executive admits will present very appealing opportunities for the reigning Serie A champions as they look to further strengthen the team for the 2015-16 campaign.
Marotta recently spoke to the press in Milan about Juve’s pursuit of the two talented players and also commented on the club’s wishes to keep star striker Carlos Tevez for as long as possible.
“Khedira is very interesting, but not only to us,” said the 58-year-old. “This is a good market opportunity for us and we can sign him immediately.
“We are currently taking in all the factors as we build an accurate strategy to secure him.
“Neto? Just like Khedira, he will be out of a contract. It is easier to try and get him here.
“I’ve made it no secret that I think he’s done well. This is another good opportunity for us that we will also consider later on.
“Tevez? He has a contract with us until 2016. He is a great professional and this club has a lot of respect for him.
“He controls his own fate, but we will try to keep him. After the Champions League final we will hold a meeting to address his future and have great respect for whatever decision Tevez makes.
“Our hope is that he will continue his stay with us until the end.”
