Felipe Melo refuses Spartak Moscow offer

Felipe Melo refused transfer to Spartak Moscow. The Russians offered 10,5 million € for the Brazil international without success.


The brazilian midfielder expressed his wish to return to Galatasaray, Turkey, where he played last season on loan from Juventus and is widely acclaimed as an idol. Melo scored 12 goals in 35 matches and went to earn a spot in the TOP 11 of the turkish league. Galatasaray have presented Juventus an offer in the 7-9 million € range.

Sebastian Giovinco might stay at Juventus

Sebastian Giovinco might stay at Juventus

Giovinco who has recently been repurchased by Juventus for 22 million € might actually stay this season in bianconero. Giovinco has been offered both to Chelsea for Fernando Torres and Napoli for Edinson Cavani. If operations Torres or Cavani fail Giovinco will stay and play at Juventus even though the Old Lady from Turin initially wanted to use him exclusively as exchange material.

We shall see how these operations evolve during the summer transfer market.

Bruno Alves is at the moment closest to Juventus

Bruno Alves close to Juventus signing

Bruno Alves is at the moment closest to Juventus. Let's refresh our memory and bring back Antonio Conte's central defender "shopping list". The players are listed in order of preference:

1. Andrea Ranocchia (Inter)
2. Angelo Ogbonna (Torino)
3. Bruno Alves (Zenit St. Petersburg)

Now, Juventus have tried to convince Inter to sell their 18.000.000 € investment at least three times. Every time the response given was "The player is not for sale." At the moment there is no realistic possibility to acquire Andrea Ranocchia.

As far as Angelo Ogbonna is concerned, the player would love to be at Conte's disposal but his always "friendly" club, at least when Juventus is involved, Torino values him an astonishing 18.000.000 €! For a player that played in Serie B, no matter how talented he might be, this is a crazy valutation.

Bearing in mind these two stories let's explain the operation "Bruno Alves". The player might move to Italy as part of an exchange with serbian winger Miloš Krasić. The russians Zenit are in favor of this operation and now all we have to do is wait for the sides to agree on the details.

Mattia Destro is a new Juventus player

Mattia Destro moves to Juventus

Juventus' long pursuit for the U21 italian national has been successful. Destro, the hottest prospect in the Italian peninsula, has agreed to move to Juventus. Previously co-owned by Genoa and Siena is now fully owned by Juventus which bought shares from both clubs.


Destro fully fits with Juventus' disclosed transfer policy of bringing 2 TOP players and one youngster with a bright future in the attack department. Destro fills the latter spot.


The signing of Destro confirms even more the likely departures of Matri and Quagliarella.

Stay tuned as the financial detail of the operation unveil.
