Claudio Marchisio (Juventus)
The talented Juventus midfielder has long been on the radar of the Old Trafford club and this could be the year when he finally moves to England as Moyes reportedly intensifies his interest following his other frustrations in the transfer market.
Marchisio made 36 appearances for Juve last term and proved a key player for the Serie A champions who have recently announced that he won’t be sold this summer.
Moyes is unlikely to be deterred and could put together a bid that will prove attractive for the Serie A champions with the player understood to be obtainable for around £25million this summer.
The Italian international, who featured during the recent Confederations Cup, is viewed as an ideal applicant to reinforce United’s midfield ahead of the new season.
Earlier this summer reports emerged that the 27-year-old had sought talks about his future at the Italian club and when quizzed about a move away, he stated: “I’d like to stay, but we must both agree I’d look around and I would be ready to consider any offers. I read the interest of Manchester United and Monaco: in these cases, I’d be proud.”
The refined midfielder is excellent on the ball and also offers the extra goals from midfield that Moyes craves, an impressive 22 in the last three years for Juventus.
