For such a young man, Juan Iturbe is attracting much attention and, supposedly, money from large clubs. Juventus have been fighting it out with Milan for the transfer of the Hellas Verona youngster, while Spanish paper AS has also recently reported that Atletico Madrid may have made a large offer for 25 million euros plus striker Leo Baptistao.
Still, according to GianlucaDiMarzio.com, Juventus are close to a deal for Iturbe. Di Marzio has reported that Iturbe has an agreement with Juve, but the club is still working on a deal with Hellas Verona. Milan still lurks out the fringes of this deal it seems, though this latest update from Di Marzio did not mention that club. Iturbe’s other agent Marchione is arriving in Italy on Monday and it is expected that this will further the negotiations.
Until then, the Iturbe transfer saga rages on. Alongside the Morata and Evra transfer sagas.
Iturbe and Morata yes, not my favourite transfers but I see the value. Evra however.. Rather not have him at Juve
evra doesn’t even average 1 successful cross per game. llorente needs full backs who can cross
Darmian can. but can he play in the left?
I’m sure he can
Yeah he’s lazy and hotheaded, I don’t see the value in this deal. He’s 33 as well and will have a high salary, he really can fuck off
Tpick made some very good points about him tho. We could possibly be bringing him in to teach Asamoah a thing or two about being a full back…
Tho i hate seeing what he ll be making. Way too much
I dont see why we would need Evra for that, as if Evra would do that much for Asamoah.
Not wurf it imo
Tbf Evra was a great attacking Lb and Asamoah isnt always the best decision maker when it comes to attacking on the flanks. It may not be worth it imo too; 2 mill plus a 3.5 mill salary for some coaching… Id pass. But who knows, all our strikers started doing fairly better when Anelka arrived something years ago.
I know, if this news came like 5years earlier I’d be happy with it, but now.. It’s simply too expensive and he ain’t coming to coach Asamoah a bit
I hope he won’t join.
Juve doesn’t have money to waste. And I see this as a big gamble.
Felipe Melo, Amauri, Ogbonna (Diego somehow too) to mention a recent few, was a waste of money. And they all costed 25M. (Except Ogbonna). All the signings that has worked out was the cheap or free ones.
I can’t see the Logic in the Evra-Morata-Iturbe transfers for a combined fee of nearly 60M.
For that money we could get some players that would actually improve the squad.
I’m beginning to have doubts…..
Thats exactly how i feel. Tho i think Conte specifically asked for Morata and possibly the other two.
I enjoy that Marotta is finally loosening up with money, but the Morata deal is stupid imo and i hate it. Maybe Madrid wont feel the need to buy him back regardless of how he does, but still, i hate the fact that they can and who knows, Conte gets the best out of him and we sell him back for peanuts.
Iturbe is a major gamble, but Porto do have a way with finding some very talented players and he could very well be one.
Either we win big or we loose it all.
I’d much rather take a player who have actually achieved something on the bigger stage. Shaqiri seems to go to Roma now. And Sanchez is Arsenal-bound. And we looks to be screwed.
I hope that we’ll sell Pogba to Madrid and get Di Maria and cash in exchange, as rumors suggested a couple days ago.
Or it could be half and half :p i mean Iturbe could be a success and Morata a flop or vice versa.
Anyways, Morata seems very eager to come play for Juve and ive been reading that hes actually a hard working striker(typical Conte player) and if thats true, we ll have two hard workig forwards plus Vidal and Marchisio, and i ll definitely be excited to see those combination of players on the same pitch.
I just hope Portos great scouring system doesnt fail us . so far all their players theyve sold have done well(minus Hulk).
How come Roma get Shaqiri? We’re a more interesting prospect than them and (I think) we’re in a better financial situation. Can’t see why he’d choose them over us.
What if he didnt choose? What if its simply becase we didnt make any kind of offer for him?
Roma show interest in him, we don’t, that’s all 😛
Iturbe will be better than Shaqiri. Shaqiri is done maturing as a player. This is as good as he will be. Believe me.
I’m still sad Diego flopped so hard, it was such a promising deal. Worst transfer ever though is a close one between Amauri and Jorge Martinez, I don’t know which one was worse
Amauri actually scored goals and played though.
Yeah but he also insulted fans and refused to leave, Jorge at least just left
He didn’t just flop here, he never became the player he was made out to be and never really did much since he left. Its just money, but yeah, I did have high hopes for him when we signed him, he was one of those guys everyone wanted to see become our next great player.
He’s better at Atletico but indeed never really become the superstar we hoped he would be. I had very high hopes for him, he was supposed to be something Del Piero like. Sadly that didnt work out but oh well its ancient history now
It’ll be the same old story here .. They’ll do well in Serie A but do nothing in Europe.
They shoulda bought Sanchez, bunch of tight asses Marotta and the gang.. I thought Conte was only staying if we were gonna buy big this summer and give him the team he needs to compete in CL?
We need D if you ask me, Chiellini and Barzagli aren’t what they were 2 years ago, both are on the decline. We’ll get eaten alive in Europe if we stay the status quo regarding defence.
Agreed about the defender part, but i think we re gonna have to be patient. Every player is way overpriced right now and i think we might have to wait till Rugani and Masi mature, which i hope shouldnt take long. For the time being, i hope Chiello-Bonucci does the job… As long as our midfielders can provide enough support, our defenders should be fine(hopefully).
What midfielders? Pirlo is aging (awesome player nontheless he cannot play well in the Ch.L anymore), Vidal is being sold, it’s only Pogba and Marchisio (both overrated as well).
I’ve had doubts for over two years now! We’re constantly buying mediocre players. Instead of buying ONLY ONE ELITE player we buy 3 average players. This is exactly why we fail in the CH.L and we are gonna fail again.
So reports circulating that Morata and Evras deals are done and Iturbes could be very well finished as well.
Oh and heres a joke:
How many goals can Germany score on Brazil???
A brazilian 😀 get it?
I read Evra and Morata really want Juve but not done yet and Iturbe wrapped up for 27mill xD
And that joke is an old one 😛
Yea thats pretty much what i read right after i read that the deals were done… Damn rumors and their falseness idk how i lost my natural instinct to ignore unofficial rumors.
That joke is new to me!
Never believe it if it doesnt come from official juve newsfeed 😛 But they did post something about Evra, they will announce SOMETHING on Monday it said on twitter..
