Juve eyeing next window

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta says the club intend to strengthen their squad further in the future.

Players such as Eljero Elia, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Mirko Vucinic all arrived in Turin during the off season, with Marco Borriello, Ouasim Bouy and Simone Padoin joining them in the January transfer window.

But the recruitment drive is apparently not over yet, with Marotta already looking ahead to the end of the 2011/12 campaign.

"It's a bit premature to already talk about it, but the process of renewing the team will continue in the summer," Marotta said to Tuttosport.

Marotta declined to discuss specific targets, but the Turin press have linked Juve with a move for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.

The Argentina international has been used in a squad rotation system at Real so far this term, and could be allowed to move on at the end of the season.
