Joan Laporta wants Cristiano Ronaldo at Barcelona
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reportedly planning to offer a swap deal to Juventus for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Spaniard is reportedly keen to see Lionel Messi and Ronaldo play on the same team and will try and sign the Portuguese superstar this summer.
According to AS, Barcelona will offer two of either Philippe Coutinho, Sergi Roberto or Antoine Griezmann to Juventus to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. Laporta believes the swap deal would free up enough funds for the Catalan club to be able to afford Cristiano Ronaldo's massive contract.
Ronaldo going to Barcelona would send shockwaves throughout the football world. However, it remains to be seen whether the former Real Madrid man will agree to join his rivals this summer.
Juventus interested in signing Thomas Partey
Juventus are reportedly interested in Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and are ready to offer the Gunners a swap deal to sign the Ghanaian this summer.
According to TuttoSport, via Il Bianconero, Juventus intend to use Aaron Ramsey in a swap deal for Partey. They hope that the Welshman's return will be enough to entice Arsenal into letting the Ghanaian leave this summer.
A huge stumbling block for Juventus, however, will be Ramsey's salary, which Arsenal will not be able to afford unless the Welshman agrees to take a pay-cut.
Federico Bernardeschi to stay at Juventus
Despite multiple rumours linking him away from the club, Italian winger Federico Bernardeschi is set to remain at Juventus for the 2021-22 season.
According to Calciomercato, Bernardeschi is part of Allegri's plans for next season despite him having a disappointing 2020-21 campaign. The winger is entering the last year of his current deal at Juventus. The club, however, are willing to let him stay and earn a contract extension past next season.
