Gianluca Di Marzio reports on his homepage that Inter and Juventus could go head to head over yet another player. This time it’s former Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo who the Bianconeri have identified as a possible replacement for Paul Pogba.

Di Marzio reports that Juventus have already spoken to the player’s agent but so far have only been prepared to sign him on loan whilst Wolfsburg prefer a more permanent solution. Inter, on the other hand, have been in touch with Wolfsburg via intermediaries and are prepared to make an €18 million offer plus €2 million in bonuses.

Furthermore, as of July 29th Luiz Gustavo is a German citizen and therefore he wont occupy a non-EU player slot either, but he has a €32 million release fee clause in his contract. Inter have been interested in the player before and are looking to bring the Luiz Gustavo to Milano to sit in front of Mancini’s defense.
