Russian media reports that Turin's leaders are negotiating with Moscow's "Spartak" leader Alex Raphael Meschini.
It is announced that the 'old lady' is ready to rent an attacking midfielder for six months with the possibility to buy the player's contract at the end of the season.
"Spartak" wants to receive 12 million euros for the footballer, but "Juve's" sporting director Giuseppe Marotta considers the requested amount to be too high, so negotiations will be attempted.
The website "Tden.ru" writes that Alex, acquired from the Brazilian club "Internacional" for 7 million euros a little more than a year ago, has already lost motivation playing for the Russian club and is seriously negotiating with "Juventus".
The 28-year-old Brazilian is known as an excellent attack organizer, but can successfully play as a central midfielder and as a second striker. During his 5 years at "Internacional", he scored 56 goals, and within a couple of years at "Spartak", he scored 15 goals.
