At Juventus we are not only working in midfield for the arrival of Khephren Thuram, but great maneuvers are also expected in defense. The ball of Thiago Motta it clearly is Riccardo Calafiori, protagonist with Italy at the European Championships and caught between the attempts to retain him by Bologna and the requests from abroad. We could think about resolving the situation Federico Gattinot officially included in the starting list, but ready for a possible farewell in case of the right offer.
A proposal that could come directly from England with the
Newcastle that he has intensified the polls in recent days and that he is pushing Juventus to evaluate a possible sale. As reported by
The Sports Gazette at least 25-30 million euros would be needed to convince the club to
Gianluca Ferrero to give up, an idea that could become reality in the next few days through an official offer.
At that point fresh money would arrive in the Juventus coffers with
Cristiano Giuntoli which could turn up
Bologna and attempt to purchase Calafiori. The Bolognese are stuck at a request of around 40 million euros, considering that half will go to
Basel, however, a discount is not excluded through a technical compensation appreciated by the Emilians or the inclusion of a series of bonuses that can be achieved during the season and which lead to the agreed figure. On the rossoblu defender there are also the
Bavaria Monaco and the
Manchester City that they would be gathering information on him and proposing more attractive figures to both the player and the club.
In the event that the Calafiori deal does not go through, Giuntoli is working on an alternative which could be represented by
Jean-Clair Todibo, he is also in force at
Nice and with a cost similar to that of the former Roma player. The Frenchman was already betrothed to
Manchester United when the
UEFA he said no because of
Jim Radcliffe, owner of both clubs. The deal fell through and Juventus forcefully returns to the game thanks to the good relations created with the Thuram negotiation.
If not even this path is viable, no problem, there is a further alternative represented by
Jakub Kiwiorleaving the
Arsenal, but only on a permanent basis. The Polish player is valued at around 30 million euros by the Gunners, the figure that would arrive with the sale of Gatti, in addition to having on his side the experience in Serie A cultivated with the
Spice and the age of 24 which still make him an excellent prospect. The English club would have the opportunity to make a capital gain of twenty-two million, but everything will depend on what happens with Gatti.
