Juventus, Koopmeiners and Calafiori are Thiago Motta’s first requests
The Thiago Motta era at Juventus is about to begin. The now former Bologna coach is expected to sign with the Old Lady next week. Manchester United’s court? “It doesn’t seem to pose a danger,” writes Ivan Zazzaroni in Corriere dello Sport. And he talks about some of the priorities and dreams of the Italian-Brazilian coach. He starts with two names that have been circulating for some time, namely the Dutch midfielder of Atalanta, Koopmeiners and Bologna defender Calafiori. “The Dutchman is considered the main technical-tactical enrichment, but the Percassi Jewelery is very expensive: a year ago it refused 50 million flat from Napoli. And then, historically, in Bergamo there are no exchanges of goods: only silver. Forty million who instead asks Bologna for Calafiori, but Juve is convinced they can take him with 30 by focusing on the player’s will”
Juventus, Douglas Luiz and Mason Greenwood
But also watch out for Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz“he is the most popular playmaker: for this reason Giuntoli, thanks to the good offices of Frank Trimboli of Base Soccer, London, is trying to include McKennie, valued at 30 million”.
And then “there is the 22-year-old winger Mason Greenwood of United, this year at Getafe. For Financial Fair Play requirements, the Manchester club must sell him by June 30th”, explains Ivan Zazzaroni. Which cools down the rumors of recent days about Savinho” (“He seems destined for the Bundesliga”).
Juventus, Szczęsny and Chiesa leaving?
Outgoing players? The arrival of Michele Di Gregorio from Monza and the confirmation of Perin they move away Szczęsny (in the last year of his contract), and who according to the director of CorSport could also be sold for zero (thus thinning out the salary, the current Polish number one has a salary of around 7 million). Possible goodbye also for Federico Chiesa (also one year from expiry).
And then there would be the Joshua Zirkzee dream. But on the Dutch talent who enjoyed a fantastic season in Thiago Motta’s Bologna, the Milan is very advanced and determined to close (together with Fofana).
