Juventus GM Giuseppe Marotta: We want top midfield signing

Juventus GM Giuseppe Marotta admits they're in the market for a midfielder.

However, he insists they're happy with the make up of their squad.

“We're happy with our squad in every department," Marotta confirmed.

“Compared to October we've bought Rincon and got [Claudio] Marchisio back, so two more players.

“In addition, we're nearing completion for [Atalanta's Mattia] Caldara, so for signings we've already got two done.

“January is also used to work for the future, we'll have some contact for players who aren't available right now. We took Caldara because he suits our model, we've got great professionals in defence but they're a bit older and we have to think of the future.

“We'll let them [Atalanta] loan him for six months and probably next season too, because we're good in defence, we have [Medhi] Benatia who we'll probably sign outright.

“In midfield we have some interesting young Italians, and we're looking for a top player in that role who will be available for next season."
