Juve Offer Cash Plus Tiago For Schweinsteiger

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are set to offer cash plus Tiago Mendes to Bayern Munich in the hope of signing Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The Bianconeri are working feverishly in the hope of signing a top class midfielder ahead of next season.

The club’s three primary transfer targets all look unlikely to join. Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso has had second thoughts over a move, the transfer of Inter’s Dejan Stankovic has hit problems following a protest from Bianconeri fans, while the chances of capturing Roma’s Alberto Aquilani have always been slim.

The Corriere says that Juve have now stepped up their efforts to sign Bayern Munich’s Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The 23-year-old had a poor club season for Bayern, however he has been very impressive for Germany at Euro 2008, scoring in both the quarter final and semi final wins over Portugal and Turkey respectively.

Juve first made contact with Bayern regarding the player a couple of weeks ago, and they are now set to make an official transfer bid, offering cash plus midfield flop Tiago Mendes in exchange for the player.

However Schweinsteiger is also wanted by Milan and a host of Premier League teams, and the player recently admitted that England was his favoured destination.
