Ok, so this first story needs to be reproduced word for word:
Marotta in Moscow for Krasic...then on to Germany for Aogo !
Juventus director general Beppe Marotta will fly to Moscow and Hamburg this week to negotiate the transfers of Milos Krasic and Dennis Aogo.
The Bianconeri have already signed five new players this summer and after a brief hiatus, they are ready to make one final blitz before the start of the season.
Juventus’ interest in Krasic is well known. Marotta held talks for the Serbia international last month, but couldn't’t agree a fee with CSKA Moscow.
The Russian outfit wanted €18m in June, but four weeks later their asking price has dropped to a figure closer to €15m partly because the player also wants to move to Turin.
Krasic didn't play any part in the Moscow derby yesterday, suggesting that CSKA await developments on the transfer market.
If the 25-year-old were to arrive, he would complete a quartet of wingers comprised of Davide Lanzafame, Simone Pepe and Jorge Martinez.
Meanwhile, Marotta’s right-hand man Fabio Paratici was in Milan yesterday to meet Aogo’s agent Gordon Stipic.
After discussing personal terms, Paratici will speak to Hamburg’s directors later today in anticipation of a final meeting with Marotta in Germany.
The 23-year-old left-back is being valued at €9m, but La Gazzetta dello Sport understands Juventus will try to get Hamburg to lower the fee by offering Christian Poulsen and Hasan Salihamidzic in exchange.
