Juventus desperate to get Asamoah

.... The Old Lady To Use De Ceglie Or Criscito As Bait

Juventus have made no secret of being interested in Udinese midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah, but the Zebrette are allegedly unwilling to let go of their rising star this summer.

The Friulans snapped up the 20-year-old from Swiss side Bellinzona last year and would like to keep hold of him for at least another season.

But the Old Lady will probably offload Danish flop Christian Poulsen and are eager to bolster their midfield with the powerful Ghanaian who could create a formidable partnership with Mohamed Sissoko.

And Turin paper Tuttosport today claims that the Corso Galileo Ferraris directors are prepared to sacrifice either wing-back Paolo De Ceglie or stopper Domenico Criscito, currently on loan at Genoa, to bring Asamoah to the Stadio Olimpico.

Moreover, Juve would release the second half of striker Michele Paolucci, who is on loan at Catania this term, but is co-owned with Udinese. The Friulans reportedly value Asamoah at €15 million
