Ezequiel Lavezzi of Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund’s Ilkay Gundogan are reportedly Juventus’ main January targets.

The former Napoli winger has been widely linked with a move to Turin, as his contract in the French capital expires next summer.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports today that although Lavezzi will be able to sign a pre-contract for free from February 1 onwards, the Bianconeri want him in the winter window.

Ezequiel Lavezzi of Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund’s Ilkay Gundogan are reportedly Juventus’ main January targets.

The former Napoli winger has been widely linked with a move to Turin, as his contract in the French capital expires next summer.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports today that although Lavezzi will be able to sign a pre-contract for free from February 1 onwards, the Bianconeri want him in the winter window.

PSG are likely to demand around €5m for the Argentina international, while the Old Lady shouldn’t offer more than €3m.

The newspaper also believes that the 30-year-old will be offered a two-year deal worth €3m per season.

Lavezzi wouldn’t be available to play in the Champions League should he arrive in January, having appeared already for PSG, but the Bianconeri appear convinced that he will make a big impact.

A more ambitious target remains Gundogan, who is considered a key part of Thomas Tuchel’s Dortmund side.

The midfielder is under contract until 2017 and Gazzetta believe that the German club will not sell for anything less than €20-25m.

Given the significant sum a move would require, the paper therefore believes that the club could be forced to consider it in the summer rather than mid-season.
