first shot for Motta (Lapresse) SpazioJ
The Juventus squad could soon experience profound changes and new arrivals and exits are on the way.
Thiago Motta’s official appointment as Juventus coach brought the start of a new era at Juventus. The coach still has to train the players, divided between holidays and commitments at Euro2024, but he already works constantly with Cristiano Giuntoli, the very active director of the technical area.
The company is working on important negotiations such as those linked to Calafiori and especially Douglas Luiz, but also on smaller negotiations. The Juventus club is working on a mega negotiation with Aston Villa, Luiz would arrive in black and white while McKennie and Iling Junior would fly to the Premier League with the latter saying goodbye much earlier than expected. There were high hopes for the young English winger, but Iling did not live up to expectations and actually experienced several difficult moments during his time with Max Allegri on the bench.
However, a numerical reinforcement in pink on the exteriors is needed given Iling’s and Alexsandro’s farewell. In short, with De Sciglio potentially saying goodbye, Juve could redo the wingers and Giuntoli and Motta are discussing a name that intrigues the Juventus bench quite a bit. We are talking about the Brazilian full-back Wendell, who has been linked to the Juventus club for several weeks now.
Juve transfer market, watch out for the Brazilian name on the wing
The Copa America will begin in a few days and Juve will be watching the situation in Brazil with extreme attention. The green and gold national team sees two elements of the black and white squad such as Bremer and Danilo, but also a new name that Juve monitors carefully and or the Brazilian full-back of Porto Wendell, Thirty-year-old footballer with great experience and a very interesting profile for the Juventus club.
Wendell’s contract expires in June 2025 and he has already made it known that he wants to leave. Porto has changed coach and is also called to revolutionize the squad, Wendell is interested in Juve and the footballer has a valuation of around 7 million eurosnot an insurmountable figure with Juve observing the situation.
Wendell would fill the role of Iling Junior in the squad, departing player. The club is working on high-level moves and more. Quantitative reinforcements are also needed and the next few days will be used to establish whether the player can arrive. In the meantime, there is Motta’s OK, Giuntoli can include him and will evaluate whether to place the decisive lunge soon.
