Resurgent Italian giants Juventus are reported to have developed an interest in Swiss inernational defender Ludovic Magnin. The storied Turin club are looking to add a player of international experience to their options for left-back in anticipation of European football next season, and the 28-year-old Stuttgart star not only fits that criteria, but he would be available on a ‘free’ to boot.
With what looks increasingly likely to be a permanent move for Giorgio Chiellini to central defense, the Bianconeri are looking a little light in the left-back department. Christian Molinaro and Domenico Criscito are both highly promising players, but with youth almost inevitably comes inconsistency due to lack of experience.
Magnin has caught the Old Lady’s eye during their scouting missions to Germany to keep tabs on Diego and Van der Vaart, and there are rumours that they could be planning a move as early as January.
VfB Stuttgart have always maintained that they are not looking to seel one of their most consistent performers. That being said, they have been unable to agree terms with the former Werder Bremen defender, who is also on the wish-lists of Olympique Lyon, Hertha Berlin, Bayer Leverkusen and FC Basel.
