Lichtsteiner set to leave Juventus in January

Juventus are set to sell unwanted right wing-back Stephan Lichtsteiner in the January transfer window. 

Stephan Lichtsteiner has fallen behind summer arrivals Dani Alves and Juan Cuadrado in the pecking order. 

The Switzerland International, whose contract runs out in June next year, will only be sold to a club outside of Serie A as the reigning Italian champions are wary of strengthening a rival. 

Juventus turned down an approach from Inter during the summer when it became clear that Lichtsteiner wouldn't be a key player in Massimiliano Allegri's 2016-17 team. 

Barcelona are regularly linked to Lichtsteiner by Italian and Spanish media outlets. Juventus won't stand in the Catalans' way if they approach him for a winter window move.
