Juventus Pursuit of Talented Empoli Fullback Stalling

Juventus have laid eyes on Fabiano Parisi, but they need a few pieces to fit into the right places before kicking their chase into high gear. In addition, Empoli already recorded a major profit by selling Guglielmo Vicario to Tottenham and are holding firm on their demands, TuttoSport informs.

President Fabrizio Corsi skirted the question after a League meeting.

“There are no updates. He’s our player and will be the captain next season.”

Juventus have been trying to sign Parisi by inserting some youngsters in the deal to spend less. Fabio Miretti, Matias Soulé, and Filippo Ranocchia have been discussed. The first two would transfer on loan.

Moreover, the Bianconeri need at least one exit on the left wing before putting pedal to the metal. They already have Filip Kostic, Alex Sandro, Andrea Cambiaso, Luca Pellegrini, and Samuel Iling-Junior in the role. At least one of the two prospects could depart, while Lazio could bring back the fullback with a different formula. The Brazilian veteran is clearly expendable, but he needs to find a team that gives him similar wages.

Our Take on Juventus and Parisi

He’s the best Serie A has to offer at the position in terms of prospects, especially for a team that might alternate between types of defenses. However, if the Old Lady won’t accelerate before clearing the roadblocks, it will be vulnerable to other teams swooping in.
