| | Juve line up Italian aces |
Wednesday 26 November, 2008 |
| Juventus are expected to strengthen their squad in the New Year with Gaetano D'Agostino and Cristian Zaccardo said to be on the shopping list.
The Bianconeri have progressed to the knockout stages of the Champions League and are third in Serie A, poised for a Scudetto push.
However, the Old Lady's midfield isn't the finished article and after Tiago Mendes' latest injury blow they continue to be linked with a number of possible solutions.
Bayern Munich star Bastian Schweinsteiger and Barcelona ace Xavi are in the frame, but the latest rumours suggest that the answer may lie closer to home.
D'Agostino, who has just earned his first Azzurri call-up, has impressed at Udinese this term and would relish the chance to play for one of the peninsula's giants.
The talented Sicilian would be expected to fetch around £8m and could join in January.
Another possible new recruit to the Juve cause is former Palermo defender Zaccardo.
The Italian international right-back joined German side Wolfsburg in the summer, but hasn't settled in the Bundesliga.
Meanwhile, Bianconeri stopper Jonathan Zebina continues to struggle with injuries and there is a lack of strength in depth at the back.
According to Tuttosport, Juve are ready to offer Zaccardo the chance to return to his homeland in the winter on loan with the option to make the switch permanent in the summer.
