Juventus in hot-seat to sign want-away Atletico Madrid defender Siqueira

Juventus are in the hot-seat to sign Atletico Madrid full-back Guilherme Siqueira after the Brazilian fell out of favour with coach Diego Simeone.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Vicente Calderon for some time now and speculation has only increased with Atletico Madrid recently bringing back Filipe Luis from Chelsea.

According to TodoMercadoWeb.es, the Bianconeri are currently in negotiations with representatives of the Rojiblancos with Siqueira likely to go on loan to Turin with the Old Lady given the option of buying the ex-Udinese man for around €12 million.

Siqueira joined Atletico Madrid last summer from Granada after he spending a season on loan at Portuguese side Benfica, during which he won the Portuguese domestic treble.

Siqueira made 25 appearances for the Colchoneros last season, scoring on one occasion.
