Felipe Anderson expected to join Juve

According to self-proclaimed football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, there is now an expectation that Lazio winger Felipe Anderson will join Juventus this summer.

The 30-year-old attacker is expected to swap the capital city for Turin in the summer on a free transfer when his contract at the Stadio Olimpico has ran out.

Anderson has been instrumental for Lazio this season and that has been the case since he joined for a fee believed to be in the region of £7.5 million in the summer of 2021 from Premier League side West Ham United.

Anderson began his career with Santos back in 2010 before moving to Europe with his current club Lazio three years later. He spent five seasons with Le Aquile before a £35 million move to West Ham.

He had a loan stint at Porto before returning to Lazio and has gone on to make 142 appearances in his second spell with the club, making that 319 appearances in total and 58 goals overall.

There is a fair bit of upheaval expected across Serie A this summer with Juventus also expected to part company with manager Massimiliano Allegri. Bologna’s Thiago Motta is favourite for the Bianconeri job.
