Juventus are staying in touch with Leon Goretzka, while Franck Kessi\u00e9 has not-so-subtly offered his services to them, but their officials aren\u2019t close to signing either of them at this stage, Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto report (via SOSFanta<\/em>).<\/p>\n The German veteran, who had been linked primarily to Milan while Massimiliano Allegri was at the helm, has proposals from Saudi Arabia and the MLS. However, he\u2019d like to continue in Europe if he had the chance. The fact that the Bianconeri<\/em> won\u2019t play in the UEFA Champions League isn\u2019t a big problem.<\/p>\n While Juventus are in talks with the Goretzka camp, there\u2019s little substance to the links to Kessi\u00e9 for now. The Ivorian star is looking for a landing spot in the Old Continent, but the Turin-based side hasn\u2019t tendered any proposal at this stage. He was making \u20ac14M per year in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n The Old Lady could eventually add to the midfield, but they need to offload some players first, La Gazzetta dello Spor<\/em>t informs (via Mediaset<\/em>). They\u2019d like to recoup part of what they previously invested in their current castoffs. According to Tuttomercatoweb<\/em>, Douglas Luiz could stay put if he doesn\u2019t receive a decent offer. His valuation is still hefty in their mind. Per Il Messaggero <\/em>(via Goal<\/em>), they offered Teun Koopmeiners to Roma as a partial makeweight for Mile Svilar, but they were swiftly repelled.<\/p>\n They have a quality deficit rather than a depth one, but they also need cash. It looks like they\u2019ll use most of their ammo for a striker, a goalie, and eventually a no.10. Still, if Kessi\u00e9 and Goretzka\u2019s personal terms are somewhat manageable, they should go ahead and worry about the exits later.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on the Juventus Midfield<\/h3>\n
