Juventus Trying To Get Real Madrid’s Pepe On A Free Transfer
Juventus will turn their attentions to Real defender Pepe if they are unable to sign PSG centre-back Thiago Silva, according to reports in Tuttosport.
The Serie A champions have made the Parisians’ Brazil international their number one priority for the January transfer window, but recognise it may be hard to lure him away from the Parc des Princes in the new year.
Juventus are always attentive to players who are coming to the end of their contracts; one only needs to look at some past purchases to realise this.
After Pirlo (2011), Pogba (2012), Llorente (2013), Coman (2014), Neto, Khedira (2015) and Dani Alves (2016), for next season the bianconeri have already pointed to Axel Witsel of Zenit, who has already rejected the offer to double his salary to remain in Russia and was close to arriving in Turin last summer.
