Juventus are bitter after seeing Felipe Anderson’s goal slip away, but attack again at Lazio
It’s a Juventus that needs a lot of reinforcements, in view of next season, to raise the technical rate and be up to the probable return to the Champions League. The second part of this year made it clear that the current squad had a certain quality deficit to be able to really aim high. But one of Giuntoli’s main objectives it’s already faded.
Felipe Anderson was considered an ideal investment, which the Juventus club was pushing for. A player who could be taken on a free transfer from Lazio, a contract was ready for him from 4 million euros per season. However, like a bolt from the blue, the announcement arrived: Anderson has chosen the team of his future, but it will be Palmeiras, Brazil.
Nothing has happened, therefore, the green and gold player has opted to return home starting from July. And for the offensive department, therefore, Cristiano Giuntoli must go back to the hunt. He will serve a Juventus with better and more qualitative alternatives next year to do well in Italy and Europe. A name comes back hot right at home in Lazio.
Juventus, from Felipe Anderson to Zaccagni: the scenarios
Juventus has always thought with a certain interest to Mattia Zaccagni, a profile that has stood out in the Biancoceleste in recent years with goals, assists and dribbling ability. Scenarios open for the 28-year-old, who also sees his stay in the capital in the balance.
Zaccagni’s contract will expire in 2025, but for the moment there is still no talk of renewal. As his agent explained to the ‘Corriere di Roma’ a few days ago: “I haven’t heard from anyone from the club for 40 days. I don’t know if Lotito has anything else to do, but evidently Zaccagni’s renewal is not a priority for him. We’ll look around in the summer“.
Indications that could favor the inclusion of Juventus and a purchase on fairly favorable terms, considering the contract expiring in just twelve months. However, it is never easy to deal with Lotito even in situations like this, Juventus will have to have an alternative ready in their hands. This could be another free name, Anthony Martial leaving Manchester United.
