Pescara confirm Juventus close to deal for Caprari and Lapadula

Juventus are in advanced talks for Pescara pair Gianluca Caprari and Gianluca Lapadula.

Both players are expected to join Juve at the end of this season.

“The President is carrying on the negotiations himself, but I do know that Juventus are at a very advanced stage for both Caprari and Lapadula," Pescara director general Giorgio Repetto told tuttojuve.com.

“In my view Lapadula will be playing in Serie A and I'd love for him to get there with us. Juventus are Juventus, the best team in Italy and among the best in Europe.

“He is certainly a forward who could play for Juve, even if the Bianconeri have five extraordinary strikers at the moment.

“I think after a year or two of apprenticeship, they'll make him into a player suited to Juve.

“As for Caprari, he has technique and a remarkable change of pace. He has become stronger in terms of character with us, whereas before he was a bit too calm and quiet. Now he doesn't let go, he gives everything for the team."
