Former Napoli director general and renowned transfer guru Pierpaolo Marino is convinced that Juventus are closing in on the signing of highly-rated Palermo centre-back Simon Kjaer.
Juve are expected to hire Giuseppe Marotta as their new sporting director this summer and Marino believes that the current Sampdoria chief executive will pull the strings to arrange a swap deal with Palermo involving Brazilian striker Amauri.
“There will be no more room for Amauri at Juve,” Marino writes on Tuttomercatoweb.
“Marotta’s acute strategies and his excellent relationship with Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini will be critical to completing a transaction which had been already in the pipelines a while ago.
“The deal would see Amauri return to Sicily, with young and very strong Danish defender Kjaer arriving in Piedmont.”
Amauri made a name for himself at Palermo between 2006 and 2008, netting 23 goals in 52 league appearances.
