Juventus have set their sights on reinforcing their wide attacking options for next season after their failure to land a top striker this past summer.
After the failures of Milos Krasic and Eljero Elia to adapt to Antonio Conte’s style of play, Juve are looking to address the situation through some foreign talents: Isco, Nani and Theo Walcott.
Isco is a Spanish Under-21 attacking midfielder who currently plays for Malaga. He has been in impressive form for the Boquerones, culminating in a two goal performance for the club in their 3-0 home win over Zenit in the Champions League.
As a result the Spanish club are said to be in talks with the player to extend his contract, raising his buyout clause from €21 million to €37 million.
Nani, the Manchester United winger, is said to be on manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s list of expendable after numerous bust ups with the club in recent months.
Manchester United are looking to replace the Portuguese star with James Rodriguez of Porto once Nani is sold on for close to €40 million.
Theo Walcott’s contract with Arsenal expires next summer making him an enticing option for the Bianconeri. Arsene Wenger is desperate to extend the 23-year-old’s contract and a meeting between the two sides is expected for next week.
What is certain is that Juventus will keep a close eye on all three players as they look to strengthen their already formidable squad.
