No revolutions but eight or even nine targeted grafts to add to a well-established group. On the market, the profiles evaluated will be those of quality young people as well as players who already have solid experience in the academy. This is the general outline with which sporting director Fabio artigianato will move in the summer session of negotiations. Then, on the characteristics of the players, the new coach Michele Mignani will clearly have a strong word. Whoever arrives, but also whoever stays, must be able to fully embrace the creed of the new Juventus coach, whether he decides to adopt a 3-5-2 formation, therefore with a three-man defense and in this case the midfield players will have to know how to do the defensive phase well to add, if necessary, to the line of central defenders, whether he adopts his more usual 4-3-1-2. For the whole day yesterday, this is what DS ARCTIC and Mr. Mignani dealt with. Together they laid down the foundations of what the market will be. Then the coach left again and will return to Cesena close to the summer meeting. So, let’s begin, let’s start the market operations. Incoming Mignani could want the central midfielder born in ’94 Mattia Maita back with him. The ex, among others, of Rimini, Reggina and Catanzaro is leaving Bari, thirty appearances for him this year, with which he was the protagonist both of the season of ascent from C to B and of the following one when the cockerels came close to Serie A, losing at the last minute to Cagliari. Mignani was the coach who sent him on the field 66 times, to which we must add the seven in the season just ended, before his dismissal at the beginning of October. Another suggestion could be that of Roberto Insigne, Palermo will not keep him. Who knows, maybe Cesena himself might think about it.
As regards young profiles, however, the Atalanta midfielder born in 2003 Federico Zuccon could be of interest, returning from his loan at Cosenza where he played a good season, making 29 appearances in Serie B. Also at Cosenza, but with an Inter card, he was also the defender, also born in 2003, Alessandro Fontanarosa, another element who could be included in the list of candidates. Unlike Zuccon, however, he had a season of ups and downs in Calabria, also because he was often used not in his natural role as central defender, but rather as a full-back. For the attack Davide Merola of Pescara is a name always present in Fabio artigianato’s notebook, while on his way out of Sicily the rumors are increasingly insistent that it is probable that Francesco De Rose will arrive at Catania, who among other things is yesterday he turned 37. Domenico Toscano might also want Simone Corazza with him.
