The Frenchman is expected next week, then Di Maria and the other national teams will arrive
The important thing would be to be all there, smiling beautifully, with a bottle of champagne in hand, in 11 months, on 4 June, when a very long championship will end (due to a stop for the World Cup in Qatar). Meanwhile, in four days, Monday, we begin: they will be few, but rested from the holidays and eager to begin a season that must be of redemption. Max Allegri on Monday 4 July will begin his second season of his second Juventus cycle: Juventus even find it hard to call it a rally and have not officially communicated the date (but that’s it) because the many internationals and some injured players will have a few more days of vacation and the Continassa will see staggered arrivals, in the week following the first official day. The hope of every coach is always to have a full team right away, thanks to an early transfer market: that rarely happens, if you don’t coach Bayern Munich.
THE ARRIVAL OF POGBA
–
To date, the Juventus team has not yet officially closed even a purchase, but between now and Monday something could happen: the number one suspect joining the squad is Cambiaso (we talk about it on the side). But the most awaited remains Paul Pogba: things with the Octopus have been defined for some time, in recent weeks even the details have been filed and the four-year agreement has been checked and approved. There remains some uncertainty about the date of landing in Turin, of the signature, of the medical examinations: uncertainty that arises from organizational issues, from a trip to be planned from Miami, also for reasons of communication and marketing. Pogba could be there on Monday, but more likely he will be a few days late, starting his Turin adventure anyway next week: he trained alone (and with Dybala) in Miami, doing it with Allegri’s staff is another thing.
WAITING FOR MARY
–
Shorter geographical distances separate Juve and Di Maria: from Ibiza to arrive in Turin is a moment, but yesterday passed without any particular progress in the negotiations. Club and agent are defining the “details”: bonus mechanisms, commissions, stuff like that. A weekend may be enough, but Angel, currently engaged in a busy schedule of birthday parties on the Balearic Island, will only define the timing of the landing in Turin after the total agreement. Prediction: a few days after Pogba.
WITH DUSAN
–
The two big players of the summer will be welcomed in Turin by two other big players of the team: Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa should be among the first to answer the Juventus call. The blue is struggling with recovery from injury and has already shown that he does not want to waste time to work on his return. The Serbian skipped his June commitments with the national team due to groin pain, and had long since set 4 July as the date for the start of his first full season in Turin. With them the other big names will not be many, only those who have missed the last rounds with the national teams: Zakaria, Danilo, Cuadrado and Arthur. With them Perin, Pinsoglio, Rugani, Pellegrini, perhaps Alex Sandro, Kean and Pjaca returning from the loan, Ake, Nicolussi Caviglia and other Under 23 players. Longer holidays instead (unless voluntary and personal choices) for the Azzurri Bonucci , Gatti and Locatelli, for the azzurrini Fagioli, Rovella, Ranocchia and Miretti, for Szczesny, De Ligt, Rabiot, McKennie and Ramsey, while Dragusin and Mandragora await news from the market. Up to 20 July we will work at the Continassa: in the Allegri staff all confirmed with the addition of the new arrival Paolo Bianco. The American tour begins on the 22nd. At that point Allegri expects to have already closely and consistently seen some of the boys who are playing for the place in the squad; of having already seen how Di Maria can send Vlahovic into the goal; of having reduced the group from some “redundancies”; to have already won a few games of basketball with Pogba, like the good old days.
