Juventus chasing Valencia pair Joaquin, Mata

Juventus are ready to raid cash-strapped Valencia to boost their midfield.

Tuttosport says the emergence this week of Valencia's financial problems have kicked Juve into action ahead of next month's winter market.

Juve's board have already given sports director Alessio Secco the green light to explore the prospect of strengthening their midfield in January and he is eyeing long-term target Joaquin.

Joaquin could be sacrificed by Valencia to ease their cash limitations, but Secco won't stop there as he also fancies fellow Los Che winger Juan Mata, who has been outstanding this season.

As much as I love Juve in Serie A, I can't see Valencia selling any of their top players as that would ruin their season (they're doing too good to do that). Juve might as well go for Diego so that they strengthen their midfield in the centre, the wings are less troubling, they should use Giovinco so that he can become a regular.

Joaquin is only 27 years old and still have another 5-6 good years in him. He's twice as fast as Nedved and have equal skills!!! GO GET HIM!

Joaquin to Juve??? Hes leaden arsed and lazy. Ranieri would have no use for that kind of player.
