Alexis should be Juventus' top priority, says Moggi

By -


The 76-year-old has urged the Old Lady to make a move for the Chile international and rebuild their squad this summer Former Juventus director Luciano Moggi believes the Serie A champions should make the signing of Barcelona attacker Alexis Sanchez their main priority this summer if they want to be competitive again in Europe. The Chile international has been strongly linked with a return to Serie A after three seasons at Barcelona and Moggi feels the winger is exactly what Juventus need, while also urging the Turin giants to further rebuild their squad ahead of next season. "Juventus' main priority this summer should be the signing of Alexis Sanchez," Moggi was quoted as saying by Tuttosport. "He has already shown in the past that he can add something extra in Serie A during his time at Udinese. "From there one, you will have to be ready to sell important players and replace them with even better alternatives. Back in 2001, we sold Zinedine Zidane and got back Pavel Nedved, Lilian Thuram and Gianluigi Buffon. "The Juventus of Fabio Capello had leaders of various national teams, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Emerson and Fabio Cannavaro, players who could change a team. "I would never sacrifice Arturo Vidal, though, and the same goes for Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Giorgio Chiellini." Juventus failed to advance from the Champions League group stage this term, while they were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Europa League.

After the match I was talking to Graeme Souness and we agreed that if we were to have our careers again in the present day then we, and any current young player, would want to join City. That is the club where you want to be. Man United have dominated English football for so long and though City might not have the history, they have the future.

Brendan Rodgers has outlined his vision to take Liverpool forward and is targeting up to five quality additions to bolster his squad. Though Rodgers has vowed to fight until the final whistle on Sunday, he has conceded Liverpool’s hopes of winning their first title since 1990 have almost been extinguished after only taking one point from their last two games against Chelsea and Crystal Palace. But wherever Liverpool finish this campaign, Rodgers is aware that improvements need to be made to the squad during the summer and believes the fact they can guarantee Champions League football will give them a considerable lure. Top target: Adam Lallana (right) is wanted by Liverpool this summer Liverpool did not sign anyone in January but their scouts have identified a number of targets, including Southampton’s Adam Lallana and Cardiff defender Steven Caulker, as having the potential to improve the squad and take the club forward. ‘The work has been on-going for a little while now, especially s
