Still embroiled in the race for a place in the next Champions League, Juventus is forcing Cristiano Giuntoli to keep his foot off the accelerator, waiting for the certainty of a pass worth around 80 million euros. The Juventus technical director – underlines Tuttosport -, at the same time he does not lose sight of the evolution of the Serie A standings. With a more recurring thought than the others: Lazar Samardzicyoung-old market mania at Continassa.
Less than 25 million?
If Udinese’s season ended with a ranking similar to the current one, their gems would suffer from an inevitable depreciation. Starting right from Samardzic. The main issue remains the price set by Udinese, not less than the 25 million agreed with Inter last August, including onerous loan, right-obligation to buy, attached bonuses and the value of Fabbian’s price tag, which should have represented the compensation operation technique. Not less than 25 million, yes, unless… the last four days of the championship condemn the Friulians to an unexpected relegation.
Operation similar to that of Inter with Fabbian
There is no shortage of competition and, indeed, in the event of Udinese’s relegation it would increase even further, with Napoli, Borussia Dortmund and Brighton interested spectators in the front row. But Juventus would start a step ahead, by virtue of the relationships established over the last year with the entourage, headed by the father-agent Mladen, aiming for an operation completely similar to the one put together by Inter, with an initial loan that allows at least to postpone the investment and with the possibility of perhaps including the price tag of the appreciated Nicolussi Caviglia in an operation worth 15-16 million in total.
