After coming together on the Tevez deal which saw the Argentinean move from England to Italy, Juventus and Manchester City are now on opposing ends as they try to snatch the signature of young Fiorentina striker Stephan Jovetic, Italian media report.

Juventus want to complete their striking force with the youngster, and want to partner him with Tevez, while City are in search of a replacement for the player who joined Juventus.

Fiorentina continue to insist on Jovetic’s €30 million clause, and any bickering between Juventus and City will not bring the price down.

Barcelona have changed target for their defence. With Thiago Silva an impossible dream, the Blaugrana have veer off on another Brazilian. In the coming days the Spanish champions will present an official offer to Roma for Marquinhos . The 9-year-old player has been declared non-transferable by the club but faced with a proposal from the Spanish giants things could change. Negotiations will start from €30 million.
