Giuntoli is set to work with Allegri, but there is a suspicion that he is already preparing the ground to welcome Spalletti to Juve.
Journalist Fabio Santini, speaking to the microphones of calciomercato.it on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, talked about Allegri’s fate at Juve and the looming shadow of Spalletti.
Santini began by criticising AC Milan: “No offence to anyone, this management is showing a kind of amateurism in dealing with this market tangle. And it is worrying for the Rossoneri fans. Milan are on three tracks. The most important is the point and that is Alvaro Morata: 12 million, 5 million a year to the player, four-year with an option on the fifth year. I would remind you that Morata is thirty-one years old, so there is a lot of confidence in this player, who is anything but a first striker’.
“Then we have Reinjders,” continued the journalist, “with whom Milan have already reached an agreement on the basis of 1.8 million per season. AZ want 20 million, Milan have offered 15 plus bonuses. In short, at 18 we close, and this operation is also on the home straight. And then we have Pulisic. Milan offered 14 million plus bonuses as an initial base; today it went up to 20. I believe that between now and the next few hours, the operation will go through, even though there was a raid by Lyon who offered 25. The player himself has said he wants Milan. “
“The Rossoneri have sold their most important player, earning a lot of money and a twist is not excluded… Theo Hernandez could leave if the offer from Real Madrid arrives. But it is all to be verified. This is the real situation’.
According to the journalist, AC Milan lacks a Kessié-like player. “They shamelessly denied it, but they worked on Frattesi and failed. The hour Frattesi was signing his contract with Inter, Milan had gone to lunch with Riso showing strategic insipience. “
Allegri and the ghost of Spalletti: “Giuntoli is preparing to welcome him to Juventus “
The journalist then spoke about Inter’s goalkeeping target: “Trubin, a crazy player, strong, go on YouTube and see how he saves… Strong with his feet, he’s very tall, he’s 21 years old, he’s a starter for Shakhtar Donetsk, he’s played 17 games in the Champions League and he’s also a starter for the Ukrainian national team. He is very strong with his feet, but if they wanted to get a strong goalkeeper between the posts, Inter should have taken Valencia’s Mamadarshvili, who costs 25 million euros. But Simone Inzaghi wants, as Onana has shown, a goalkeeper who is strong with his feet. “
Allegri
“If Juventus sell Vlahovic, they go for Jonathan David, twenty-three years old, and contract expiring with Lille on June 30, 2025,” the interviewee followed. “Hojlund already has one foot in the Premier League, because he is very close to Manchester United. So I think that maybe already by tonight the operation is done.”
“We can’t exclude, for now, reversals at Juventus. We could rule them out in the aftermath of the meeting between Giuntoli and Allegri, which was supposed to take place a week ago, yesterday, next Thursday: it’s skipped though… Manna has been appointed by Allegri as head of the first team. So what does that mean? That Allegri above him has Manna, that above him he has Giuntoli.”
“The ready alternative to Allegri is Spalletti. Spalletti is Giuntoli’s name, he did everything to bring him to Napoli and he will do everything now to bring him to Juve. If he doesn’t succeed in this session, he will try to do it in January for June 2024″.
