Pasquale Mazzocchi is leaving Salernitana this summer and AC Milan have been linked with a move, but Juventus now seem to have emerged as competition.
Calciomercato.com recall Mazzocchi has said goodbye to Salernitana fans on his Instagram profile despite having contract there which runs until 2026. The former Venezia player wants a change of scenery because he did not see eye to eye with head coach Paulo Sousa.
He is tempted by several clubs who have expressed an interest. Monza like him and may lose Carlos Augusto, Milan are also thinking about a move as they may need a new deputy to Theo Hernandez, but Juventus have taken the first concrete steps.
Mazzocchi’s growth has been exponential to the extent he has received a call-up from Roberto Mancini for the Italian national team, while Juve like him because he can play as a right-back or a left-back, and even as a wing-back.
The negotiation between Juventus and Salernitana began several days ago, so now they are discussing figures and the possible inclusion of Nicolussi Caviglia as a counterpart, who was on loan with the Granata from January.
The Bianconeri are thinking of an offer of around €4m plus Caviglia going the other way, but Salernitana director Morgan De Sanctis would like a bit more with developments expected in the coming days.
