Juventus talks with Barzagli, Evra

By Football Italia staff

Juventus will reportedly offer new contracts to Andrea Barzagli and Patrice Evra, but Martin Caceres will leave.

The three defenders are all out of contract at the end of the season, meaning they can talk to other clubs in January.

According to Calciomercato, the club will meet with Barzagli’s agent, Claudio Orlandini, before Christmas, with the veteran expected to agree on a new deal, although he has other offers.

It’s thought the World Cup-winner could agree a slight reduction in his current €2.5m per year salary, in exchange for an extension.

There is said to be more doubt, however, about Evra, who has an offer on the table but is also considering a move to MLS.

Calciomercato reports that Bianconeri general manager Giuseppe Marotta has planned a meeting with the left-back’s agent to determine whether or not he wishes to remain in Turin.

As for Caceres, the website reports that the Old Lady will seek to sell the Uruguayan international in January, rather than lose him for free.

The defender has suffered with a series of injury problems, and was excluded by the club earlier this year after crashing his Ferrari in Turin while under the influence.
