Juventus reignite interest in Kolarov

Juventus are ready to launch a fresh assault on Aleksandar Kolarov, according to Turin based Tuttosport.

General manager Giuseppe Marotta is adamant the club need to sell after signing Fernando Llorente, Carlos Tevez and Angelo Ogbonna, with Sunderland-bound Emanuele Giaccherini the first player to leave.

Strikers Alessandro Matri and Fabio Quagliarella are also nearing the exit door, but the Bianconeri are also thinking about signing a left-sided full-back.

For the time being, Juventus officials are simultaneously working on transfers of Aleksandar Kolarov and Camilo Zuniga, hoping to sign one of the two players.

And while Napoli are not too keen on selling the Colombian full-back, Manchester City are prepared to cash in on Kolarov, who in turn wants to return to Serie A.

With that in mind, it is expected that the Serbian defender, who has been playing second fiddle to Gael Clichy of late, will arrive in Turin in time for the start of pre-season training.
