Juventus market, Spanish trap for big midfield target

Luciano Spalletti is already working with the Juventus management to fix the lineup, and among the departments that need the most intervention is the midfield. According to the coach from Certaldo, Juventus should have more experienced players with different characteristics than the current performers (Manuel Locatelli above all) and he has drawn up a list of possible reinforcements to fix things up. On the list are some targets for the winter market and others, such as Leon Goretzka, for the summer session.

Ernesto Villa

could be coming soon

The experienced German midfielder is expiring his contract with Bayern Munich and the club does not seem intent on retaining him.Vincent Kompany does not want to deprive him in January but in the summer he will not stand in the way of his departure. Juventus is following the situation with great interest but, according to Mundo Deportivo, Atletico Madrid is also interested in Leon Goretzka and would like to bring him to Spain at the end of the season. There had also been talk of Napoli but Aurelio De Laurentiis’ club is more distant than the Bianconeri and Colchoneros.

Joining Bayern Munich for free in 2018, Leon Goretzka in a very short time became one of the pillars of the team and helped the club win a lot of trophies, then some injuries slowed his career and he slipped in the hierarchies of the various coaches who sat on the Bavarian bench. With the arrival of Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich has embarked on a general plan to green up the squad, resulting in lower costs for the team, and Leon Goretzka does not fit into the plans.

The club has not been able to make a move for Leon Goretzka.

If Leon Goretzka could go the Munich-Torino route, Dusan Vlahovic could take the opposite route: should he not renew with Juventus, the Serbian center forward could be approached by Bayern Munich. Already last summer the Bavarians gave it a thought, then the negotiation did not materialize.

Dusan Vlahovic would be a viable alternative to Harry Kane: currently Vincent Kompany’s second choice is Nicolas Jackson but so far he has not convinced and could return to England. Last summer he was signed on an onerous loan (as much as 16 million euros) with a redemption option set at 65 but, at least so far, he has not shown that he deserves confirmation.
