Juventus is looking to make things really big and after Douglas Luiz could treat itself to another European champion. Difficult negotiation, lots of money needed
Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus’ director of technical area, took full possession of the team this summer. When he arrived last year, he already had everything set. Now it is evident, also because of the choice of the new coach, that things are going differently.
The farewell of Allegri with the subsequent arrival of Thiago Motta was the first sign. The successful assault on Douglas Luiz was the second. The fact that they are close to Calafiori-or so they say-is also a third clue that they do as those who write mystery novels tell us, proof. Will Juventus stop here? It doesn’t seem so, at least according to the words of Andy Moeller, a former Bianconero, who interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport dropped a bombshell. Or at least, better said, he tried to give advice to the Bianconero management.
Juventus must get Wirtz
“If I were the d.s. of Juve I would buy Florian Wirtz. It would take, however, a lot of money. In the 1990s he could afford it, today it is more difficult.” This was the phrase of the German champion who played in Serie A during the very years when our league was considered the best in the world. Things have changed, now the targets all want the Premier League, or almost, and it is difficult for Italian teams to get those shots that can change seasons and directions. So much so that we haven’t won the Champions League in 14 years. And that’s saying a lot.
Wirtz this season has been an absolute star in the Bayer Leverkusen jersey: he won the Scudetto, the German Cup and even made it to the Europa League final, the one he lost to Atalanta. In short, he would be a real coup for Juventus. Even if it will remain a dream. Okay that Giuntoli wants to go big, but this seems too much even to us.
