The summer transfer window is closed for the major leagues in Europe. However, with an eye on January, there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Juve want January deal for Alba
Juventus are showing an interest in signing Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba in the January transfer window, reports Sport, and the Blaugrana are willing to let the Spain international leave midseason so that they can lower their wage bill.
The Bianconeri have struggled this season, winning just two of their nine matches across all competitions, and the Turin side’s incumbent left-back Alex Sandro is a player whose performances have been scrutinised. It’s been reported elsewhere that the Brazilian will leave the club when his contract comes to an end this summer.
That’s left Juve looking for a new left-sided defender. Alba has a contract at the Camp Nou through next season, and the Italian outfit are said to feel that the 33-year-old would be a signing that makes financial sense for the club.
