Juventus expected to make new contact for Strasbourg’s Habib Diarra

Juventus are keen on signing Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra and are expected to make new contact for the midfielder.

Sky Italia state today that after Denis Zakaria sealed a move to Monaco from the Bianconeri and Nicolo Rovella set to seal a move to Lazio, Juve are looking around for key midfield additions. They have set their sights on Strasbourg’s Diarra, for whom first contacts were made recently to explore the possibility of the signing. Diarra would like to leave the Ligue 1 side and Juve have taken that into account.

As of now, Strasbourg want €20 million to sell the 19-year-old midfielder, with Lens having had a bid rejected for the teenager. Wolfsburg are also interested, along with Juve and the German side are willing to offer €14.5 million plus bonuses for Diarra. Juve are considering whether to push for the move or not and new talks with the French club are expected to be made over the weekend.
