Juventus market, assault on the champion of'Inter

In spite of a great summer buying campaign, Juventus is unable to get into gear and in this first part of the season several critical issues have emerged in the Bianconeri team. The Old Lady’s management attempted to correct things by exonerating Igor Tudor and entrusting the bench to Luciano Spalletti but things have not changed and the effect of the coaching change has not been felt much. A hand could come from the winter market, where several movements are expected at Juventus in an attempt to fix the situation in the standings, which currently sees Vlahovic and his teammates in seventh place.

Luciano Spalletti would like a new midfielder capable of slotting in and bringing in the goals his team lacks, and he has his eye on Davide Frattesi, an old Juventus darling. The midfielder is closed at Inter and, despite his recent good performances, does not seem to have convinced Cristian Chivu to give him more space in the coming months. Beppe Marotta is aware of Frattesi’s discontent with poor minutes and may be forced to sell him in the next market session but would prefer to avoid selling him to a direct competitor. Frattesi’s desire, however, is to stay in Serie A and he sees a move to Turin as a good idea.

The valuation that Inter makes of Davide Frattesi is 35 million euros, an important figure especially if one considers the marginal role that the midfielder plays within the team, however, the champion&#8217s willingness to change air could force the Nerazzurri management to lower its demands. Juventus’s idea is to sign him on loan with a buy-back option linked to the player&#8217s performance and the team&#8217s goals at the end of the season. On the tracks of Davide Frattesi there are also some English clubs but the former Sassuolo player prefers to continue his career in Italy.

In favor of Davide Frattesi’s move to Juventus there is also the Luciano Spalletti factor: the coach has been able to exploit the player’s qualities very well in the national team and under his management Frattesi has scored 7 goals. Recently Alessandro Del Piero analyzed the coach from Certaldo this way: “Character and personality are two important characteristics for great teams. My question to Spalletti was precisely on this: already you have entered the race, you have defensive emergencies, you change a lot, you have no certainties from a tactical point of view or even in terms of performance of some players except from Yildiz today, because this is the reality of the facts. Where do you go to fish for things? Where do you go to create certainties? True, you don’t have certainties, but you have to create some. And so it all becomes more tiring in everyone&#8217s head, especially those who play a little bit’ then don&#8217t play, then replay after 3 weeks…”.
