On the day that Gonzalo Higuain is set to leave, Juventus continues to be active to give Andrea Pirlo a new center forward. The new name being considered beyond Suarez and Dzeko is Olivier Giroud as he's an easier option to land.
The recent injury to Nicolo' Zaniolo makes it harder for Roma to move Under in exchange for Milik who would free Dzeko to leave the giallorossi, without a player to swap, Roma would have to meet the partenopei's asking price of €35 million. Regarding Suarez, he's scheduled to take his Italian exam to obtain citizenship next week, but it may take a while to complete all the bureaucratic steps There's also Cavani, but in recent hours Atletico Madrid are pushing to reach an agreement with him.
These scenarios make Giroud more appealing, it appears the French striker would only leave Chelsea for Juventus with whom he has an agreement in principle on a two year deal with an annual salary of €4.5 million next. Chelsea are asking for €5 million for him which makes the deal feasible should Juventus decide to pull the trigger, the bianconeri may also wait until end of window to close deal to see if other options materialize.
