Llorente, Ogbonna, Salah

Juventus are forging ahead with their transfer plans for the coming season under Italian manager Massimiliano Allegri.



He was appointed in the summer of 2014, the day after Antonio Conte left to take over the Italian national job. He was coming into a club that had won 3 Serie A titles on the trot but not fared very well in the UEFA Champions League. Linked with the Tottenham post at the time, he won the Italian title, Coppa Italia and made it to the UEFA Champions League Final.

Carlos Tevez has decided to return to Boca juniors in his homeland and Juventus have been but in the transfer market securing deals ahead of the window officially opening. Next season they will have Daniele Rugani, a 20-year-old central defender who Arsenal made a bid for, German World Cup winner midfielder Sami Khedira, striker Mario Mandžukić from Atlético Madrid and highly-rated young striker Paulo Dybala from Palermo. Also arriving imminently arriving is 25-year-old goalkeeper Norberto Murara Neto, who terminated his contract at Fiorentina.

Those arrivals have pushed 30-year-old Spanish striker Fernando Llorente towards the exit and 27-year-old Italian center back Angelo Ogbonna is another who Allegri does not see in his future plans.

Tottenham have already held talks with Juventus about the pair and both are not short of admirers, Monaco are the latest side to make an offer to Llorente while Aston Villa and Southampton have joined the race for Ogbonna. It is not impossible for Llorente to remain at Juventus as Bologna have asked to take 10-year-old Frenchman Kingsley Coman on loan.

Juventus have made inquiries for Chelsa winger Mohamad Salah, but they believe the player wants to join Inter Milan, so that's another potential signing it looks as though we can cross off the list.
