Christian Terlizzi

Juventus Eye Catania Stopper

Juventus are ready to make a move for Catania defender Christian Terlizzi according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The Bianconeri lost Giorgio Chiellini to injury on Sunday night. The Italian international twisted his knee during his side’s 4-1 loss to Milan in the Berlusconi trophy.

Chiellini’s injury has forced Juve to reconsider their defensive options for the coming season and they are likely to return to market.
Tuttomercatoweb claims the Old Lady is making enquiries for the Rossoblu stopper who has been in stunning form for the Sicilian outfit.

The 28-year-old could arrive in Turin on loan with the option to sign for the Bianconeri on a permanent basis if the deal takes off.

Should Juve’s bid for Terlizzi fail, then attentions at Vinovo will turn to Lazio’s Guglielmo Stendardo and Fiorentina’s Dario Dainelli as the race for a defender gathers speed.

Stendardo may provide the easier route for Juve as he would be eligible for the Champions League.

Dainelli however, is not eligible to play for Juve in Europe as he has already represented Fiorentina in the preliminaries of the elite club competition.
