Werder Bremen have entered negotiations with Juventus and France Under-19 defender Prince-Desir Gouano, the Bundesliga club have said.
The 18-year-old Bianconeri centre-back was photographed in Bremen on Sunday and a deal seems set to be agreed between the two sides once Naldo’s exit to Wolfsburg is finalised, despite problems with his medical on Wednesday.
Bremen have already conducted business with Juventus this off-season, bringing in Dutch winger Eljero Elia for 5.5 million euros, and has now confirmed Bremen’s interest in Gouano.
“We have met and talked,” Bremen general manager Klaus Allofs confirmed to Bild.
“As part of the Eljero transfer, we asked Juve about the possibility of signing Gouano. Now we have spoken with the player.”
It is unclear whether any move for Gouano, who joined Juve from Le Havre last May, would be on a permanent or loan basis.
