Juventus chase Iniesta

Juventus are reportedly weighing up a January transfer window move for Barcelona talent Andres Iniesta. The midfielder is one of Barca's most important players, but the Spaniard has a £25m release clause that Juventus may match.

Tuttosport says the Spain international has emerged as Juve's big new target for next season should they clinch Champions League qualification.

The Spanish international is very highly regarded at the Catalan club. On July 19th this year he was linked with a move to rivals Real Madrid. Reports in newspapers suggested Real was prepared to pay 60 million euros for him which would trigger his release clause. However, he reiterated his desire to remain with Barca by saying: "I can’t do anything about it but I’d like to insist once again that I want to stay here. When I say I want to retire in Barça, I say it with all my heart."
