Juventus in talks for Lamela, De Bruyne

Juventus are being linked with January moves for Erik Lamela and Kevin De Bruyne, according to Tuttosport.

The club’s general manager Giuseppe Marotta was spotted in the stands during the match between Tottenham and Stoke yesterday afternoon, which has added fuel to speculations linking the Bianconeri with a move for Erik Lamela.

According to Tuttosport, the Juventus executive enquired about the possibility of signing the Argentine forward, while also speaking about Tottenham targets Mirko Vucinic and Fabio Quagliarella.

Marotta was also in London to open talks with Chelsea over the signing of Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who is hoping to leave Stamford Bridge in search of first team football.

Juventus have opened up a five-point advantage at the top of Serie A and will have an excellent opportunity to make a giant step towards the third successive league title when they host Roma on Sunday, with the Old Lady 8/13 to claim maximum points.
