Giuntoli has no doubts, he has all the characteristics of being Samuel Eto’o’s heir and he wants to bring him to Turin by the end of the summer.
There is a lot of anticipation among Juventus fans for the start of the summer transfer market, in which Juventus is now called upon to make that revolution which had already been anticipated by John Elkann a few months ago.
The new management that took office after the resignation of Andrea Agnelli found itself faced with a very difficult challenge. The club’s economic problems uncovered by the Prisma investigation are known, and therefore the road to becoming successful again passes through a spasmodic attention to company accounts and balance sheets, very different from that which characterized the last years of management of the former president of the Old Lady.
But then Giuntoli landed at Continassa last summer, after a close court by the Juventus leaders who took him away from Napoli, where he had worked alongside De Laurentiis for the last eight years, for precisely these reasons.
In fact, the new sporting director of the Bianconeri has established himself as one of the best managers on the old continent, precisely for this reason his innate talent in knowing how to assemble very competitive squadshowever having to deal with a very limited transfer budget, certainly not for top tier European clubs.
Juventus’ new economic philosophy
What path the sporting directors intend to follow has already been seen with the arrival, in the winter transfer window, of of two young promises like Djalo and Alcaraz, which, however, Allegri never exploited, perhaps disappointed by the fact that no experienced players arrived at that moment to help him keep his hopes for the Scudetto alive.
But there was no good blood between Giuntoli and Allegrithis was made certain at the end of the Cup final which ended up costing the Livorno coach his dismissal, in which, among the many extreme actions of which he was guilty that evening, there was also the fact of having attempted to dramatically remove Giuntoli from the team’s celebrations on the pitch.
Giuntoli is sure: he has found Samuel Eto’o’s heir
Now the sporting director will have to work alongside Thiago Motta to do everything possible, in compliance with the economic limits imposed by the company, to help him on the market to find players more suited to his game. And it seems that now Giuntoli is very close to closing a negotiation for what many are starting to consider as the true heir of Samuel Eto’o.
This is the Swiss Kwadwo Duahwho currently plays for Ludogorec, but who, thanks to Thiago Motta and the Juventus manager, now seems ready to make the big leap to finally dedicate himself to Turin as a top player.
