Werder Bremen midfielder Diego

Juventus Back On Diego

Juventus are back in the hunt for Werder Bremen midfielder Diego, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The Bianconeri have been struggling in Serie A and the Champions League. A number of those problems have stemmed from the midfield lacking creativity and class.

It's crisis time for the club and coach Claudio Ranieri, who may be sacked, but sporting director Alessio Secco is trying to flex his muscles in the transfer market in an attempt to solve the problems.

Tuttomercatoweb claims the Old Lady are planning to make a move for Diego during the January transfer window to try and offer more depth and dimension in the middle.

Juve were after the Brazilian during the summer but they failed to land him, despite coming close. The player has also admitted that he would love to join the Italian club.

Diego has been outstanding for the Bundesliga side and he would be the answer to the Italian team's midfield problems.

A 2-1 loss to Palermo on Sunday afternoon has alarmed the directors at Vinovo and a solution is trying to be found.

Juve's midfield clearly lacked the spark which a player like Diego offers and it's little wonder as to why the club is having a goal drought.

Secco is likely to make a bid early in an attempt to ensure he gets to land his man first, and, more importantly, ahead of the competition.
