Juventus want to speed up the deal for Jean-Clair Todibo, Nice defender and Cristiano Giuntoli’s first target to strengthen the Bianconeri defense. According to ‘Sky’, the Juventus club that initially proposed a onerous loan with an obligation to buy tied to qualification for the 2025/26 Champions League and 70% of the player’s appearances now wants to make the conditions for triggering the obligation easier so as to quickly define the purchase of the French centre-back. This is a step forward to meet the conditions of the Côte d’Azur club that in order to close the deal asked for ‘softer’ conditions for the obligation to buy.
Exor CEO John Elkann spoke about Juventus in the last few hours. Here are his statements: “It is important to approach a new generation with Thiago Motta. We have a young team. Italian football is no longer a destination. In the middle of your career you go to the Premier League, at the end to Saudi Arabia. The Italian championship is for young people who need to develop, complete themselves. This is the reality and it is not a sin at all. The real sin is not looking at reality”.
And again in another passage: “Let’s go back to year zero. The team is young, we need to work with them. Thiago is young, he has experience, he was a player himself. This is what we need and what we can build on. The Juventus collective has extraordinary potential”.
