Juventus chase Clerc

Juventus are reportedly chasing Lyon's full back Francois Clerc. The player was recently banned for 4 matches because of an improper transfer agreement to Marseille, and is looking for a move abroad to secure more regular first-team football.

Frederic Guerra told Tutto Mercato Web: "Juventus have been trying for him, like many major European clubs.

"He could have been signed for nothing at the end of last season, but he has since renewed his contract with Lyon. He remains a very attractive player, though there has been no serious concrete contact this season."
