Although Juventus have already started reasoning about disposals and signings, they may still wait to make the big moves in order to get Giuntoli from Napoli.
Emanuele Gamba, journalist for Repubblica, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on Twitch TVPLAY channel. The journalist spoke about Juventus’ market plans, Allegri’s future and then Inzaghi’s position at Inter.
“Inzaghi asked first and foremost for a contract extension,” Gamba announced. “The last two months have definitely changed his status. Before, he was in question, and if there had been a reliable alternative, he would probably have exonerated him. Today Inzaghi is a solid coach, Inter are also betting on him in the future and are looking for profiles in line with their ideas. The next step is to find continuity in the championship’.
So Inzaghi may have asked for guarantees during the first summit with the ownership: he wants the starters not to be sold and for Marotta to bring him some players suitable for his form to Milan.
“Juventus will still wait for Giuntoli,” the journalist continued. “With Manna’s promotion a problem has been solved, namely to start preparing negotiations. Maybe they could decide to wait for him for another year… But Juventus’ idea is to wait for Giuntoli to organise the real market. Giuntoli, I imagine him with functions similar to those of Marotta. Next to him, then, there would be an executive like Manna who would act as Paratici, so to speak’.
Talking about disposals, the journalist reiterated that in his opinion, in Serie A, there are no non-transferable players. “Now in front of certain offers everyone leaves. It is difficult for Rabiot to stay, at Juventus at the moment everything is nebulous. We have to understand if he will play in the cups, it matters above all for the squad you have to build. With the league alone, you can make different assessments. “
Juventus want to wait for Giuntoli: “The situation is complicated”
Allegri
“The Milik question will be decisive,” the interviewee continued. “He could be redeemed for 7 million, which seemed an interesting figure. If he can’t spend 7 million for an experienced and reliable player like him, then it means the situation is very complicated. “
“Juventus have already exonerated one coach in the past and paid another. Allegri should stay. So I think this reasoning has prevailed: next year will be a transition season because there will be no Champions League, and this also weighs on the prestige. The market will be one of suffering’.
“Juventus will be different, but they cannot start a multi-year programme. Taking a new coach in this context was a huge risk, even for the coach himself. Allegri has shown he knows how to handle these situations well. “
