The next step, of course, is to finalize an agreement with PSG. Paredes has been a part of PSG since 2018, racking up plenty of appearances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. If Juventus are looking for experience, then Paredes fits the bill. The 28-year-old also has 44 Argentina National Team appearances to his name.\u00a0 The midfield is also important after the loss of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/15\/pogba-completes-juventus-transfer\/\" target=\"_self\">Paul Pogba<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/62401129\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u2139\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DiMarzio?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@DiMarzio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(\ud83d\udea8) Leandro Paredes has reached an verbal agreement with Juventus. \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf7 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q8cBJ9Vvcl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/q8cBJ9Vvcl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BD Albiceleste \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\udde9\ud83d\udc99\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf7 (@bd_albiceleste) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bd_albiceleste\/status\/1554902830028181509?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Kostic, like Paredes, is also experienced at 29 years old. The winger is a true attacking threat and can be viewed as a replacement for Paulo Dybala who <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/19\/departing-juventus-star-roma-paulo-dybala\/\" target=\"_self\">departed for AS Roma<\/a>. Kostic scored four goals and provided nine assists in 31 Bundesliga appearances last season. That was a step down from the year prior, where he also scored four goals but provided 17 assists in one less appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Morata, of course, had been a part of Juventus since 2020. He was on loan, however, which has expired. Before arriving in 2020, Morata had a past stint at the club between 2014 and 2016. The Spaniard knows the club well so Juventus see him as another striking option they want behind Dusan Vlahovic. The 29-year-old scored nine goals and provided seven assists in 35 league appearances last season.<\/p>\n<p>Juventus are targeting older and more experienced players. They&#8217;ve struggled, compared to their usual standards, in Italy the past two seasons and are looking to improve. With that being said, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/03\/serie-a-clubs-chasing-young-striker\/\" target=\"_self\">they also have younger players in mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian giants Juventus are after three transfer targets in the midfield, the wing, and at striker.
