Juventus and Roma are negotiating a potential swap deal for Weston McKennie and Bryan Cristante, the Italian press are reporting, with both clubs looking to gain something from the transfer. According to what has been reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport, via Goal, Juventus want to avoid losing McKennie on a free next summer and could therefore look to bring in experienced midfielder Cristante to plug the gap left by the American. epa11824638 Juventus's 'and Atalanta's Ademola Lookman in action during the Italian Serie A soccer match between Atalanta BC and Juventus FC, in Bergamo, Italy, 14 January 2025. EPA-EFE/MICHELE MARAVIGLIA What's in it for both clubs as McKennie-Cristante swap proposed? At 30, Cristante is four years older than his American counterpart. However, the reports suggest that Juventus are trying to make a concerted effort to increase the 'Italianness' of the club. The Bianconeri wish to increase the number of Italian players at the club and former Atalanta man Cristante has a lot of experience, both on and off the pitch, that he could bring to the club.

Although his spell at Juventus has been up-and-down, it is worthwhile noting that before sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli left the Bianconeri, McKennie was very close to signing a new deal. However, reported demands from the player's representatives made it difficult for the Old Lady to agree and thus the situation emerged that we find ourselves in now.

Tottenham make initial approach for new number six
Tottenham have made an initial approach to Joao Palhinha's representatives to discuss a deal for the Bayern Munich midfielder. Palhinha joined Bayern from Fulham last summer but endured a difficult debut season in Germany. Despite winning the Bundesliga title, he made just six starts in the Bundesliga and Bayern are open to his exit this summer. Several Premier League teams have expressed interest in the Portugal international, who shone during his two seasons at Fulham. Palhinha led the Premier League for tackles won in consecutive campaigns during his previous spell in England. Spurs now want to sign the 30-year-old to reinforce their midfield options. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Spurs have made an initial approach to the player's camp, though no formal offer has yet been sent to Bayern. It is believed the German champions would be prepared to accept an offer around half the £43.2m fee paid to sign Palhinha last summer. A move to North London would provide Palhinha Champions League football and regular minutes, as he looks to assure his place in Portugal's plans for next summer's World Cup.
