Juventus fans are grumbling and protesting on social media, but it seems that Juventus considers Lukaku a perfect investment.
By taking the Belgian, the aim is to gain economically and tactically. So it is very likely that Juventus will continue to negotiate with Chelsea to find a square on the exchange with Vlahovic.
Giuliano Giannichedda, former player of Udinese, Parma and Juventus, among others, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on Twitch TVPLAY channel, to talk about Juventus’ new targets. “The Juventus market is, in my opinion, taking a clear shape,” the interviewee began.
“Allegri has asked for a couple of players with experience and physicality,” the former footballer continued. “The market has focused on Lukaku and Kessié, the former perfect in Serie A, and both two very good players who can raise the level of Juventus. The exchange with Vlahovic becomes complicated because of an economic discourse and Kessié takes a big salary. But we know the difficulties are there for all Italian teams economically. But they would be two shots that would guarantee a good mix. “
Giannicchedda then spoke about Marcos Leonardo, a 20-year-old Brazilian striker close to Roma. “Leonardo is definitely a very interesting player, however, I emphasize that many teams have already finished the first part of the work and the coaches have not had the finished roster yet. I see several teams lagging behind. “
Lukaku perfect for Allegri: “If it’s his request, Juventus needs him. “
The interviewee also spoke about Buffon, following the announcement of his retirement from playing soccer. “For me it was an honor to play with a player like Buffon, he was one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, his strength was always to want to get stronger and stronger with each training session that passed. An honor to live the locker room with him. “
Romelu Lukaku
“I am in favor of the Lukaku-Vlahovic exchange,” Giannicchedda continued. “Mainly because it would seem to be a request from Allegri. And if there was a significant match for Vlahovic with Lukaku you would get a player who is strong anyway and who would have several more years ahead at a high level. Juventus would lose a young man who would have done very well before Juventus, but these are things they will discuss at the club. To complete the roster they need a midfielder like Kessié and also a defender.”
Then the somewhat bitter conclusion about the general situation in Italian soccer. “There are teams and leagues that can spend three or four times as much as Italian teams, so the foreigner even second-rate now looks at other solutions. “
