Mundo Deportivo reports that Joao Mario has become less important at Juventus following the arrival of Luciano Spalletti. The player, who is a target for Espanyol, would not be opposed to a departure, but his high salary complicates the deal for the Spanish club.

Espanyol is attempting to sign João Mário, a 26-year-old Portuguese right winger from Juventus. It is reported that the Barcelona-based club has asked for a loan until the end of the season. The player has already given his approval to this operation, and Bologna is also observing the player.
