Double swoop on the cards for Juventus

Double swoop on the cards for Juventus

Serie A giants Juventus are said to be eyeing what would be an incredible coup, with Real Madrid star full-back Marcelo and Manchester United's presumably wantaway midfielder Paul Pogba cited as the club's top transfer targets by Italian outlet Tuttosport.



The Old Lady pulled off the deal of the summer by snatching Cristiano Ronaldo from Los Blancos back in July. The sequel is already in the works, apparently, they're now looking towards the upcoming summer transfer window, within which they will make attempts to sign the Brazilian star, as well as their former midfield prodigy.

Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici wants to bring in significant reinforcements and it is thought that Ronaldo's close relationship with Marcelo could help persuade the left back to make the move to Italy. Pogba has been tipped to leave United next year, given the discord between himself and manager Jose Mourinho. Juve are considered to be a potential destination for the Frenchman, but Barcelona are thought to be favourites where the pursuit of his signature is concerned.

Pogba has done very little to douse the flames, recently claiming that he will be a United player until he's seen wearing a Barcelona shirt.  Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi has "joked" with Pogba about the United midfielder's Champions League return to Turin in November, the paper also notes that Matuidi shares the same agent as Pogba in Mino Raiola, intensifying Juve’s chances to land Pogba.
