Michele Padovano promotes Juventus’ transfer market and sends a message to Luciano Spalletti

The European soccer season kicks off on September 8: On Sky and streaming on NOW, 53 matchdays of the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League will be broadcast, covered by Sky Sport’s team of journalists and commentators, with new studios and new formats that will enhance the spectacle of these highly anticipated competitions. Sportal.it was also present at the launch event in Milan, where it conducted an exclusive interview with Michele Padovano, the former Juventus striker who is part of the network’s commentary team.

“I really like Juve’s new attacking lineup,” he began. “In my opinion, Juventus is the club that has performed best in the transfer market among all the big teams,” he continued. They’ve revamped the backline, replacing the goalkeeper and bringing in Lucumí; in midfield, they’ve added Sarr, who could turn out to be a real find; and up front, they’ve strengthened the squad with Kolo Muani, a returning player, and Woltemade.”

“On Dusan Vlahovic, I fully agree with Giovanni Carnevali,” he added, “Juventus needs to keep players who love the jersey, who want to give it their all. Certain decisions may be understandable, but one thing is certain: you have to be 100 percent committed to the Old Lady. In that regard, it’s good that Nico Gonzalez stayed; he’s a top-notch player who seems destined to return to Atlético Madrid: we saw that against Parma, too—he came on and turned the game around.”

He concluded with a message for Luciano Spalletti, who remained on the Piedmontese team’s bench after taking over mid-season last year: “The front office has given him a squad capable of achieving great things: the Tuscan coach essentially has two teams at his disposal and has a duty to aim high.”
