“?Juventus are preparing to sign Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla as a free agent when the Spaniard’s contract runs out at the end of this season.
Reports have suggested that Juventus have already completed a deal to bring Paris Saint-Germain’s defender Thiago Silva to the Serie A champions at the end of the season, and manager Massimiliano Allegri is considering another free agent deal for Gunners playmaker Cazorla.
According to Enzo Bucchioni of Italian news outlet “?Tuttomercatoweb, the Old Lady are extremely interested in acquiring the services of the 31-year-old, as they continue to find a replacement for Paul Pogba after his world record move to Manchester United last summer.
Cazorla, who joined Arsenal in 2012 from Malaga for £10m, has been quoted as saying he would like to stay in north London, and would be eager to discuss a new deal with the club, however Arsene Wenger is yet to make that offer, and the player will be free to talk to other clubs in January.

The Spanish international has made just under 130 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 25 goals, however Cazorla is yet to win the title at the Emirates, claiming just two FA Cups and one Community Shield to his name.
Allegri does have a plan B if the Cazorla deal falls through however, and will turn to the Russian league to purchase Zenit midfielder Alex Witsel, who has reportedly been looking for a move away from the club, and the country, for some time now.
