Juventus remains interested in a move for Nicolo Zaniolo despite it appearing as though they have turned to other transfer targets.
The attacker has been on their radar for a long time and they initially considered him the replacement for Paulo Dybala.
However, the Bianconeri have brought Angel di Maria to their squad and they are also linked with a move for Filip Kostic.
A report on Tuttomercatoweb claims they are focused on adding Leandro Paredes to their squad at the moment, but it doesn’t mean they have given up on adding Zaniolo to it.
The Bianconeri will return to sign him when they complete the move for the Argentine midfielder.
Juve FC Says
Zaniolo has emerged as one of the finest Italian players in Europe, and he would bring more technicality to Juve’s attack.
Di Maria and Federico Chiesa are the most technical forwards that we have now. Adding another one to the group will make it even stronger.
With Zaniolo, we will have one of the best players around in our lineup and he will make the current options work harder on the pitch because they can easily lose their spot on the team.
But we must be prepared to spend a lot of money on the transfer.
for that price, we don’t need Zaniolo. He’s a great player, but there are better “value for money” options
Like who? Please name them, and don’t give me names like Raspadori, Depay, Verdi and Mertens. The former trio are not at the same level as Zaniolo (and Raspadori will likely cost 30-40 million, so he isn’t exactly cheap), and the latter is a 35 year old with 1-2 good seasons left in him.
Zaniolo has very poor stats – 2 goals and 2 assists in 28 Serie A games last season. On top of all of that, he had 2 very bad injuries and was kicked out of Italy National team together with Kean for the lack of discipline. Raspaddori (36 games-10 goals-5 assisits), Depay (28-12-2), Verde (33-8-6) and Mertens (30-11-1) all have better stats as him. Other options are Morata (35-9-7), Simeone (35-17-5) and Berrardi (33-15-14). Any other reason we should for out 50M for Zaniolo?
Watch games instead of regurgitating stats. Immobile has amazing stats. Do you want him as your starting striker? I sure as hell don’t. Zaniolo is infinitely more talented and skilled than every single striker on that list. He’s younger, faster, and stronger.
Dream on. Zaniolo 100% on Roma next year.
This is bs news. Why do people get sucked into this. These rumors are created by journalists and bloggers to keep you reading their bs.
and by agents to create a buzz or promt a move or new contract. there has been some very suspect Mercato `reporting` this season, even if it`s mostly fun to read.
