Giuntoli is working for the summer transfer market, and seems very close to completing a sensational return to Turin. Here’s what’s happening.
Andrea Agnelli’s resignation came two years ago now like a bolt from the blue for the entire black and white environment. It was in fact inexplicable that, the one who still remains the most successful president in the history of Juventus, he could resign in such a sudden and sudden way from the club to which he was moreover emotionally linked and in which he had grown up since he was a child.
Agnelli had assumed the presidency of the old Lady in one of the most complicated moments of its history, that is, when the club was just recovering from the Calciopoli scandal. At that moment Juventus had managed to climb back into Serie A, after the relegation decided by the judges, but was struggling to become competitive again.
And it is under Agnelli’s management, and also thanks to many of his intuitions (such as putting a still semi-unknown Antonio Conte on the bench) that the Bianconeri they will finally return to compete at high levelsgrowing year after year, to the point of even being able to afford to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, guaranteeing him an astronomical salary.
As it turned out later, the resignation of Agnelli and his Board of Directors were due to the outbreak of the Prisma investigation and the resulting investigations by all managers will have to defend themselves. At that point it was up to John Elkann to take over the reins of the company and set it up of the new corporate leaders and chart a new sporting course for the club.
The new era of Cristiano Giuntoli at Juventus
Cristiano Giuntoli is the first strong name that the new management wanted to focus on from the beginning. And if Massimiliano Allegri, fired in recent weeks from the CUB, was able to accumulate so much nervousness, it was also because Giuntoli was arriving to take on the role that Agnelli had instead assigned to him, that he no longer had to be a simple coach in this second adventure Turin, but the one who took over the entire sports area.
With the farewell of the Tuscan coach, Giuntoli is finally free to begin the reconstruction invoked by Elkann in his letter to Exor shareholders. It is not a simple challenge and in this summer transfer market, we’ll see what type of strategy the sporting director wants to carry forward.
Giuntoli targets the Palermo striker
The offensive department of the Bianconeri should not suffer any major upheavals, with Vlahovic and Chiesa looking set to stay.
However, the departure of Moise Kean is certain, but it seems that Giuntoli has already found his replacement. This is a low cost solution for a striker who plays in Serie B, but in which there is strong interest from several Serie A clubs. We are talking about the 1994 class Brunori of Palermo, who had been sold by Juventus to the Sicilian club, which the sporting director considers an excellent reserve for the Bianconeri, also given the value for money. Negotiations with his entourage have already started for that che would be a real return for the footballer to Turin.
