Giuntoli is sure he has found the new Cole Palmer and is doing everything he can to bring him to Turin: his price tag is very low.
That Cristiano Giuntoli is very good at bluffingis something that both football fans and Juventus fans understood very early in his new experience as the new sporting director of the Vecchia Signora.
Just think of when, at the beginning of the January transfer window, he went to the journalists’ microphones to explain that there was no reason to expect purchases during the winter session, and that the club believed that there was no need to add new players to the squad.
Just two days after these declarations, two young talents like Tiago Djalo and Alcaraz instead they had landed in Turin, and Giuntoli’s plan had turned out to be a real misdirection. And it can be said that in this summer transfer window, the same thing happened a bit. no one among the Juventus fans could ever expect it, after months in which the sporting director did nothing but repeat how complicated the club’s economic situation wasand how the priority was first and foremost to lower the wage bill, so that Juventus could purchase a top-tier player like Douglas Luiz.
Of course, it took some ingenuity and luck to bring it to Turin. The Bianconeri certainly didn’t have sixty-seventy million to spend on the market, without having sold anyone, but thanks to Aston Villa’s interest in Iling Junior and Barrachenea, it was possible to conclude the operation with the Old Lady who ultimately paid a cash sum of around twenty-five million euros.
Juventus, the arrival of Douglas Luiz makes the fans dream
The arrival of the Brazilian from the Premier League naturally sparked the enthusiasm of the fans who now already dreams big, and hopes that Thiago Motta will be able to immediately impact the squad he has at his disposal to get the club back to competing for the scudetto.
However, it is unlikely that Juventus now has the funds to make another big purchase, and the feeling is that instead in the next two months, Giuntoli will try to shore up the squad taking the best opportunities the market offers.
Giuntoli is sure: he can become the new Cole Palmer
And it seems that the Juventus sporting director is now trying to complete the offensive department with an attacker who many consider to be very similar to Cole Palmer who this year at Chelsea has established himself as one of the best emerging talents in football. Giuntoli is in fact betting on Maximilian Beier of Hoffenheim, in the hope of purchasing him for a sum around twenty million euros.
A negotiation in which the sporting director seems to believe a lot, also because we are talking about a very young player, born in 2002, in the belief that in Turin can establish himself as a true top player.
