Nedved had done everything to land him at Juventus, and Giuntoli now seems very close to closing for the player.
It’s not easy for Juventus fans to accept the new sporting course that is taking shape at Juventus.
And if before there was a sporting downsizing in progress on the part of the old one it was a simple suspicion, this then became reality with the letter sent to the shareholders by Exor CEO John Elkann, with which he clarified, speaking about the future of Juventus, that we need to open up a new sporting chapter that put the economic sustainability of the club at the centre.
Statements that clearly make it clear that the purchases made in recent years by Andrea Agnelli to compete with the great European top clubs, they will no longer be possible.
However, it is also necessary to contextualize the context in which John Elkann is found to act, who in any case chose Cristiano Giuntoli, one of the best sports directors in the world, to still try to keep the team competitive. When Andrea Agnelli suddenly resigned in December 2022, it became clear to everyone that beyond the circumstantial declarations, something had happened very serious within the Juventus club.
The difficult situation inherited by John Elkann at Juventus
And the reason became public a few months later, when the judicial investigation by the Turin Prosecutor’s Office into the club’s alleged sporting offenses came to light, which ultimately penalized in the championship and the exclusion from the European cups served last year.
Elkann therefore found himself having to install new top management, with the entry of his trusted man Scanavino as CEO of the club, and to deal with a simply disastrous economic situation.
Come close to buying Nedved’s “protege”.
And it is a shame that a Juventus star like Pavel Nedved, who had a very important role in the Agnelli management, had to leave so suddenly from the team to which he has been linked for a lifetime.
A nostalgia that becomes even greater, because the new sporting director Giuntoli now seems very close to closing a negotiation for a player that Nedved had tried to bring to Turin until a few days before his resignation. We are talking about the defender Jakub Kiwior who plays for Arsenal, but who seems to have been convinced by the offer from the Bianconeri, and could therefore land in Turin in the next few weeks.
