Juve on the offensive, the Bianconeri could pull off one of the first strikes of the summer market: he arrives in Turin for free.
The season has not even been over for a week, yet Juventus is already focused on the next one. Major maneuvers have already begun at the Continassa headquarters ahead of the summer market, which will open in about a month. In any case, the first objective of the head of the technical area Cristiano Giuntoli is to appoint the new coach, the one who will take the place of the exonerated Massimiliano Allegri after the brief “interregnum” of Paolo Montero, ferryman in the last two days of the championship.
In all likelihood, Thiago Motta will be the coach who will lead the Old Lady for the next three seasons. The Italian-Brazilian after the last round of Serie A has informed Bologna of his desire to leave Emilia and embark on a new adventure, convinced by Giuntoli’s proposal to take the reins of Juventus and make it great again. Motta at the helm of the Felsinei achieved a historic result, bringing Bologna back after sixty long years to play in the top continental competition, the Champions League. The Rossoblù went far beyond expectations, finishing in fifth place behind the two Milanese sides, Juventus and Atalanta.
Juve on the assault, Giuntoli is serious about Cherubini
The former Spezia and Bologna coach is determined to do well in Turin as well, although he will need a number of players suited to his playing philosophy, in some ways antithetical to Allegri’s.
For this reason Giuntoli will do everything to fulfill its demands, always making sure to stay within the spending limits that the club has imposed on itself for the past year. Juventus, in any case, is always very active when it comes to the youth market, on which it has chosen to invest ever since it launched the B team project in 2018, which now plays in Serie C. The Bianconeri have reportedly set their sights on a promising Roma player, Luigi Cherubini, who had already been “sounded out” last winter as the loan transfer of 2005 class Dean Huijsen to the Giallorossi was going through. At the time he was talked about as a possible quid pro quo, but today – as reported by the well-known sports daily Il Corriere dello Sport – the chances of him landing in Turin on a zero-parameter basis (his contract is expiring) apparently are very high.
