Thiago Motta has made several transfer requests to strengthen Juve: he wants two players per position
Cristiano Giuntoli will have the difficult task of acting on the market to make the team stronger and more competitive in view of the 2024/2025 season. Thiago Motta’s first requests are Teun Koopmeiners and Riccardo Calafiori, but to get to these two players we will have to battle with Atalanta and Bologna.
But not only that, because the new Juventus coach needs a full-back (By Lorenzo), two midfielders (Douglas Luiz is not enough), offensive wingers (alla Greenwood) and probably a deputy Vlahovic (Morata it would be perfect), as well as Arek Milik. Much will then depend on the transfers because in the event of Federico Chiesa’s departure, the attacking team could increase.
Among the blocked players is Mason Greenwood who could arrive thanks to the sale of Matias Soule. While if Chiesa were to leave, an assault on Joshua Zirkzee. Milan has the advantage over the Dutchman, but the commissions to be guaranteed to his agent Kia Joorabchian are slowing down the deal in the home stretch.
Furthermore, as regards the attack, the path leading to it must be carefully monitored Alvaro Morata. The Spaniard is at loggerheads with Atletico and has recently made no secret of his desire for a change of scenery.
And to return to Juventus he would also be willing to lower his salary. The Spanish captain could take Moise Kean’s place: the striker born in 2000 is leaving as his contract expires in 2025.
Who knows, maybe Kean might just go to Atletico Madrid in the exchange already planned in January but skipped at the last minute due to his physical problems with his shin. in any case Kean he is unlikely to stay at Juventus and they are looking for a solution that can satisfy everyone.
In midfield, Juventus is one step away from Douglas Luiz. The Bianconeri and Aston Villa are finalizing the final details of the triple exchange between the Brazilian, Weston McKennie And Samuel Iling Jr. A negotiation that satisfies everyone given that the American and the Englishman whose contract expires in 2025 will not renew with Juventus and therefore, Cristiano Giuntoli needs to sell them.
In the new team of Thiago MottaDouglas Luiz would play in the midfield with another midfielder who, the 1982 coach hopes can be Adrien Rabiot.
Thiago Motta, however, would also like to Teun Koopmeiners and the Dutchman, in Juve, would be perfect in the three behind the lone striker who, barring any surprises, will be Dusan Vlahovic. But the road to getting to Atalanta is uphill. The Nerazzurri don’t seem willing to budge from their request of 60 million and for now the negotiations are at a standstill.
It will probably take a little patience and Giuntoli will have to be able to find the right key to bring down Atalanta’s wall. There could be two paths to follow: give in and raise the money necessary to satisfy the people of Bergamo or try to insert some compensation to lower the price tag of Koopmeiners.
As for the ideal defense that Thiago Motta would like, they will need a left-footed full-back and centre-back. The technician would like to have available Riccardo Calafiori, but Bologna shoots high and the negotiation doesn’t take off. Also in this case it will be necessary to find the solution that can satisfy everyone, or it will be necessary to scan the market to look for a player who can have similar characteristics to Calafiori. While as far as the full-back role is concerned, Giovanni Di Lorenzo is on pole.
The Napoli captain wants to leave Adl’s club and his agent has already expressed his intention to move on. Antonio Conte, however, is doing everything to keep Di Lorenzo, also thanks to the player’s contract for another 4 years. Certainly with his arrival in Juventus and possibly with the purchase of Calafiori, Juve’s defense would change quite a bit. At that point the only certain people in the place would be Gleison Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso.
But the revolution will also involve the door; Thiago Motta has in fact chosen Michele Di Gregorio as the next starter. So outgoing Wojciech Szczesny towards Al Nassr. While Mattia Perin will remain in his role as second goalkeeper and is moving towards renewing his contract. There are expected to be many changes for Juventus, but Thiago Motta has clear ideas: will Giuntoli be able to satisfy him in every way?
