No more carpenters, we want technical people | Juve dumps Gatti: a boy steals his place

Juventus has decided, Gatti will be out of next season’s technical project. Giuntoli has already found his replacement. That’s who it is.

There is a lot of anticipation among Juventus fans for the start of the next summer transfer market, the first in which Giuntoli will finally have his hands free and will be able to start building the Juventus squad of the future.

The Juventus sporting director he was in fact highly criticized at the beginning of his experience to Continassa last year, for not having signed any incoming purchases in his first transfer window. This however, as Giuntoli explained in the following months, was actually the will of the management, which did not consider it sensible, in a year in which the Bianconeri don’t even compete in the cupsinvest in the players to be included in the squad.

The real era of Cristiano Giuntoli with the Old Lady therefore officially began with the January market, in which Thiago Djalo and Carlos Alcaraz arrived, two very young players with a certain prospect, and therefore, the type of profiles for which the sporting director was hired.

But this summer Giuntoli will have even more power within Juventusand this was clearly understood with John Elkann’s letter to the Exor shareholders, in which he did not hesitate to indicate Giuntoli as the man on whom the company has decided to bet to take over the entire sports area of ​​the club, and start a new sporting journey that poses a very clear break with the presidency of Andrea Agnelli.

Giuntoli’s revolution at Juventus will start from the defense

On the other hand, the Juventus sporting director found himself having to deal with things with a squad shaped by previous sporting directors, first Paratici and then Cherubini, and it is also normal that he now wants to focus on those players he really believes in, purging those he does not consider suitable for the new technical project.

And the real revolution is likely to start from defense, for two reasons. The first is due to the fact that Bremer’s departure towards the Premier League seems increasingly likely, with Manchester United ready to pay the Brazilian defender’s release clause.

Giuntoli has decided: go Gatti, here’s who will be his replacement

But there is also the fact that Giuntoli does not seem convinced of Gatti, judged to be too untechnical a defender for the type of Juventus he has in mind. And that is why that the sporting director seems intent on putting him on the market at the end of the seasonand, also because he has already identified his possible replacement.

It deals with by Jarrad Branthwaite, young Everton defender born in 2002, also followed very carefully by the Red Devils.
