Giuntoli is bluffing, Koopmeiners is not his real transfer target. The sporting director targets a young Chelsea player.
It took Cristiano Giuntoli very little to understand what it means to become a Juventus manager, and how different the pressure to bear can be even compared to that of a hot place like Naples, where the sporting director lived and worked alongside De Laurentiis for eight years, before accepting Juventus’ offer and become its new sporting director at the beginning of last summer.
Giuntoli was highly criticized at the close of the summer transfer market for not having signed any purchases. but the truth is that the ds he simply needed time to “fit in” to his new role, and with a management that has only recently taken office.
And in fact, at the opening of the January transfer window, Djalo and Alcaraz arrived in Turin, two very young talents with great potential, exactly that type of profile that Juventus fans expect from Giuntoli.
The sporting director will have to work especially in the midfield in the next summer transfer market, the department that most of all seems to need a decisive and quality addition so that Juventus can compete for the scudetto again.
Is Koopmeiners Giuntoli’s real target?
Many sports journalists seem confident that the Juventus sporting director’s chosen choice is Atalanta’s Koopmeiners, with the player who in a recent interview also confirmed Juventus’ interest in him.
However, we must not forget, as the journalist Luca Momblano has recalled in recent days, that Giuntoli has also made himself famous over the years to know how to “mislead” journalists about its true market objectives.
Giuntoli wants a young talent from Chelsea
And Momblano himself claims that Giuntoli is bluffing, letting the newspapers talk about it, because in reality the Atalanta midfielder is not his real target for next year. Indeed it seems that the sporting director has actually been courting for some time a young Chelsea midfielder, Romeo Lavia.
A talented young man of 20 years of age, protagonist of a lucky season, which ended prematurely due to a bad injury. Giuntoli, however, seems convinced that it could be the right purchase to make in the summerto begin a real re-foundation of the Juventus midfield.
