Barca-Juve Swapping Scheme Plan Involves Mattia De Sciglio

JAKARTA - According to rumors in recent weeks, Barcelona and Juventus are discussing various possible player exchanges.

The talks initially focused on Miralem Pjanic at the Turin side. But since then, a number of players have been added to the list, including defender Mattia de Sciglio.

Mundo Deportivo added details about the 27-year-old's potential move to the Nou Camp on Wednesday. They reported that the defender was close to being loaned out or even sold to PSG in the winter because he was not included in the scenario of coach Maurizio Sarri.

Meanwhile, which is still likely to be part of the overall deal for Pjanic are the names Nelson Semedo, Jean-Clair Todibo and Junior Firpo. They are referred to as players who will enter the swap scheme.

These types of deals have always been considered difficult to do, but in this quirky summer, they seem increasingly necessary.

It did not stop there, the Sports media said, the Old Lady began to sneak around looking for opportunities to bring Frenkie de Jong to Turin.

However, that tacit effort was quickly secured by Barcelona, who were not interested in handing over a player they signed for € 75 million from Ajax last summer.
