The highly rated defender could be on the move to Juventus
According to reports, Juventus are ready to offer Brazilian striker Amauri to Palermo in exchange for 20 year old highly rated defender Simon Kjaer.
Juventus are planning to not only reconstruct their ailing attack, but also have to start thinking to the future of their defense. Veteran defenders Fabio Cannavaro, Fabio Grosso, and Nicola Legrottaglie are not getting any younger, and the Juve brass want to start sooner rather than later.
The Bianconeri will have to act quickly as several clubs are interested in the hot prospect, including Man City, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Juventus has already spoken with the Danish center-back’s agent, and believe that Amauri could function as an enticing bargaining chip.
The 29 year old center forward has struggled to settle in at Juve after two successful terms with the Sicilians, and Juve seems keen to offload him, even at a loss. According to reports, the Rosanero still admire their former star.
Since Juve are planning to overhaul their attack, Amauri is sure to be on his way out to make room for other targets, specifically Sampdoria’s Giampaolo Pazzini and Villarreal’s Giuseppe Rossi.
