Juventus Prepare 15M Van Der Vaart Bid

The Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus are about to make a 15 million euro bid for Hamburg star Rafael van der Vaart...

The Gazzetta dello Sport contends that Rafael van der Vaart could be en route to Turin to join Juventus. His Hamburger SV paymasters rejected all approaches for him this summer, but the Old Lady are set to make an approach weighing in at 15 million euros.

Should he join, it could be part of a greater reshuffle of the Juventus squad which, while remaining competitive in Serie A, is likely to be trimmed of some of its young players or deadwood.

The likes of Olivera, Paro and Criscito could be farmed out to Genoa to make room for both van der Vaart and Claudio Marchisio, who has been on loan at Empoli to decent effect.

Such moves are also linked to the potential selling of Almiron in summer, which could give Marchisio a real chance to shine at his boyhood club, or possibly open the door for the arrival of Parma's Luca Cigarini.

However, neither Juve nor Hamburg have yet to comment on VDV's move, rendering the domino effect purely hypothetical.
