Juventus turn their attention to Rossi

Juventus have decided to drop their interest in Kun Aguero and have turned to Giuseppe Rossi, Il Corriere dello Sport reports.

The Bianconeri were thought to be closing in on the Atletico Madrid forward, but it now looks as the long negotiations have failed to produce results.

As Il Corriere dello Sport claims, the Old Lady decided to break the negotiations for the Argentine forward and switched their attention to Villarreal’s Giuseppe Rossi.

The Italy international is a cheaper and more plausible option than Aguero and his agent had earlier revealed Juventus contact.

“Rossi is an Italian striker with features reminiscent of Del Piero and it is normal to be excited to play with Alex and pick up the legacy of the champion like him,” Federico Pastorello told Tuttosport.

“There have been no official talks with Juventus, but we could have deeper contacts next week or later.”

Juventus are reportedly willing to offer €20 million for the diminutive striker as well as include a couple of players in the deal, which is an option that could be appealing to Villarreal.
