Manchester United are planning a summer move for Juventus star
Claudio Marchisio. The talented Italian international is reportedly
ready to quit the Turin club after running out of patience after
prolonged talks failed to result in a contract he is willing to
sign. Sir Alex Ferguson is in the market for a defensive midfielder
after seemingly giving up on long term injury victim Owen
Hargreaves.
Machisio is a product of the Juventus youth system but is ready
to leave the club and is reportedly interested in a move to the
Premier League. The Old Lady of Italian football has suffered
somewhat in recent years and after finishing in seventh spot last
term Luigi Delneri was drafted in as the new boss but has failed to
halt the club’s slide and the Bianconeri currently lie
five points from a Europa League finish and 11 adrift of a
Champions League qualification spot.
The £20m rated 25 year old has been a regular in the Italian set
up and is the type of tough tackler that
Tuttosportbelieves Ferguson is looking for, local born
Juventus man is also known for his range shooting abilities and is
also reportedly a Chelsea target.
Man United have a number of central midfield option though none
of them are out and out defensive midfielders. Darren Fletcher and
Anderson can indeed put in tackle but there game also involves
forward momentum, Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes are not famed
for their ability to effectively halt an opposition attack and
Marchisio may be the right man for the job, not least as it is
unlikely Owen Hargreaves will be offered a new contract when his
current deal expires this summer.
