Juventus to go back for Fabinho in January

It is a well-known fact that Juventus made a €40 million offer for AS Monaco's Fabinho in the summer. But the Gallic outfit were not keen on losing another one of their stars and took a firm stance in keeping hold of the versatile defender. Le10Sport has now reported that the Bianconeri are set to go back for the Brazilian in January. AS Monaco reportedly value him at around €60 million with Paris Saint-Germain also being in the hunt.

Juan Cuadrado happy in Italy

The Colombian winger was linked with a move to Arsenal in the past transfer window but the talks never materialised between the two clubs. The arrival of Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi has made playing time difficult for the Colombian this season.

It was then claimed that Cuadrado was eyeing a move in January but in an interview with Premium Sport, Cuadrado has put all the rumours to bed. He said, "I never thought about leaving and I’m happy to have stayed here, on this team that gave me confidence. I’m very happy with my performance, and I have to keep pushing hard."
