Sensational, it seemed done for the arrival of Di Gregorio at Juventus, but now it could all fall apart. What is going on.
The arrival of Douglas Luiz in Turin, in a negotiation that now seems to have reached its conclusion, with Aston Villa which will collect around twenty-five million eurosplus the cards of Iling Junior and Barrechenea, sparked the enthusiasm of the Juventus fans.
And perhaps there was also a need for such an important purchase to revitalize a square that, after the stormy farewell of Massimiliano Allegri, he didn’t know what to expect from the new management that took over after Andrea Agnelli’s resignation, and who until now had worked in silence, without ever exposing themselves too much.
Certain, the arrival last year of a champion like Cristiano Giuntoli, now among the best sporting directors in the world after having contributed decisively to forging the Napoli squad which then won the scudetto, he nevertheless made it clear that, although the priority is to settle the accounts, given the economic difficulties of the Bianconeri, however, there was the desire to relaunch Juventus and make it competitive again within a few years.
Giuntoli was highly criticized last season, just a few weeks after his arrival, for not having completed any incoming purchases.
Juventus, the revolution begins this summer
But we must also understand how, in a year in which the Old Lady didn’t even compete in the European cups, it was also understandable that the company wanted to postpone investments to give the new sporting director time to settle in and then start what John himself Elkann a few months ago defined a real “year zero” for the Old Lady.
Now, however, with the arrival of Thiago Motta as the new Bianconeri coach, the time has come for Giuntoli to really have an impact on the construction of the squad and the arrival of the Brazilian from the Premier League seems just the beginning.
Juventus, here’s why the deal for Di Gregorio could fall through
For weeks now there has also been talk of the imminent arrival of Di Gregorio from Monza, with Szczesny about to receive an offer from Saudi Arabia. But it could happen in the next few days a sensational twist, as many argue that it is no longer a given that Di Gregorio will join Juventus.
Juventus is in fact very close to renewing Mattia Perin who for several seasons now every time he is called into question, he plays the leading role in the matchesa. And that’s why many say that Giuntoli is considering with Motta the possibility of promoting him as first goalkeeper, and directing that budget towards the team’s offensive department.
