There are still a few days left and Juventus will make Thiago Motta official as their new coach. After that, the former Bologna coach and Cristiano Giuntoli will decide both which will be the incoming targets and which will be the outgoing players. Above all, the sales will be fundamental to finance the Old Lady’s market.
Uncertain future for Barrenechea and Soulè.
Barrenechea and Soulè will return to Juventus after the enormous disappointment experienced a week ago with the relegation of Frosinone to Serie B. The two young talents owned by the Bianconeri, however, are not yet certain of remaining at Thiago Motta’s court next season. Barrenechea has a playing style that fits perfectly with the ideas of the future Juventus coach and could thus carve out an important role for himself as deputy Locatelli in the Juventus midfield. Soulè, on the other hand, is one of the most attracted young players at European level and Juventus would like to focus on him, but faced with an offer of between 35/40 million, the Juventus management could also decide to deprive himself of him to, possibly, finance some incoming purchases. With the Italian football season officially over, after the recovery of Atalanta-Fiorentina, now at the Old Lady’s house we will only think about the transfer market and obviously with the first piece which will be: Thiago Motta.
McKennie outgoing: Aston Villa pushing for the American.
A few weeks ago, there was a meeting between Monchi and Giuntoli to talk about McKennie, in addition to the name of the American midfielder, that of Douglas Luiz also came up. The English would not like to spend more than 20 million, while the Bianconeri aim to earn between 25/30 million. For this reason there has also been talk of a possible exchange with Douglas Luiz, the operation is not simple, but Juventus is also examining this hypothesis. McKennie, despite having had a good season, remains on his way out of the Juventus club also because the negotiations for his contract renewal were abruptly interrupted, due to the high contractual demands requested by the American. The market is starting to come to life and soon we will begin to understand Giuntoli’s strategies to strengthen “his” Juventus.
