Juventus are reportedly keen on signing Joaquin Correa from Lazio, who could be about to bring in ex-Roma rival Stephan El Shaarawy.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Juve have offered to take Correa on a two-year loan with €50m option to buy.
The Argentine, who turned 26 in August, has made 30 goalscoring contributions in 79 games for Lazio since arriving from Sevilla in the summer of 2018.
However, it is warned his club will only consider selling him for the value of his release clause, which sits at €80m.
As for who could at least provide him competition in attacking midfield, Il Corriere sensationally claims Lazio welcomed El Shaarawy to their training ground.
The 27-year-old had been linked with a return to Roma, but the publication is adamant his recent trip to the capital was for ‘exploratory’ talks with their city rivals.
He currently plays for Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua but, with their season ending in November, he has been given permission to negotiate a loan deal until February.
Shenhua would also cover El Shaarawy’s €4m salary for the four months between November and December as he looks to secure a place in Italy’s Euro 2020 squad.
