Revealing the identities of Juventus' top 3 targets in the 2019 Summer Transfer window

Juventus FC has just announced that veteran midfielder Claudio Marchisio will officially leave in the summer transfer window of 2018.Since joining the first team in 2006, the midfielder born in 1986 has scored 37 goals in a total of 389 appearances. With the Bianconeri, Marchisio won 7 Serie A titles, 3 Italian Super Cups and 4 Coppa Italia titles.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are currently targeting three potential names to replace Claudio Marchisio in midfield.

The top 3 targets that Juventus are aiming for are all very hot names at the moment. "The Old Lady" is expected to return to these deals in the 2019 Summer transfer market.

Firstlymust mention 2018 world champion, Paul Pogba - who is not really happy at MU and publicly intends to find a new destination.

The second person on this list is midfielder Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio, a player who is also receiving attention from many big teams.

Finally, Adrien Rabiot, the 23-year-old PSG player, is the top target of AC Milan, Barcelona and Tottenham.

Up to now, Ronaldo and Higuain are the two biggest contracts that Juventus has had in the summer transfer window.

MU to sign Ramsey in January?

According to information from the British press, Man United has put midfielder Aaron Ramsey in its sights. The Red Devils have even considered the option of bringing Ramsey to Old Trafford in the upcoming winter transfer window. The possibility of MU's success is not small because Ramsey is having a rift with coach Unai Emery.

Ramsey's contract with Arsenal will expire next summer. However, negotiations to extend Ramsey's contract with the Gunners are still frozen.

That is why, in the latest developments, the British press revealed that MU has put the Welsh star in their sights. Of course, at the moment, the Red Devils cannot immediately bring Ramsey to Old Trafford. They are considering buying Ramsey in January 2019.

If MU has Ramsey's service, their midfield will be significantly strengthened. This season, MU's midfield is quite fragile.

MU's advantage is that they can completely pressure Arsenal's price in this transfer. Because if the Gunners do not sell Ramsey soon, they will lose this star for free next summer in case Ramsey still refuses to renew his contract.

This deal is quite similar to MU's recruitment of Alexis Sanchez in January this year. At that time, Sanchez only had 6 months left on his contract with Arsenal and Wenger was forced to let Sanchez go, otherwise he would lose him for nothing in the summer. Will Ramsey follow Sanchez to MU?
