La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus are waiting for a formal bid from Crystal Palace for Lloyd Kelly and are planning to replace the English centre-back with Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior.

Juventus could change some members of their defensive department in the final weeks of the summer transfer window.

Juventus wait for Crystal Palace’s offer for Kelly

A report from the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper claims that the Old Lady is aware of Crystal Palace’s interest in Kelly, but is still waiting for an official offer.

Kelly was given regular playing time during the pre-season and he’s willing to stay at Juventus, but the Serie A giants are open to listening to offers for the ex-Newcastle defender, who only moved to Turin in January.

Savona has also attracted Premier League interest

Juventus could also receive Premier League offers for Nicolò Savona, a product of their academy, previously linked with Sunderland and Newcastle.

According to Gazzetta, Arsenal defender Kiwior is Juventus’ main target if Kelly leaves, but the ex-Spezia defender has attracted interest from other European clubs as well, especially Porto.
