Juventus are targeting at least three more signings before the start of the summer which could include Joao Cancelo and Ezequiel Garay.
The Bianconeri are looking to reinforce in key areas of the pitch and Italian newspaper Il Giornale suggest Juve director Beppe Marotta is now in a hurry to bring those targets in before the season begins in two weeks time.
According to Il Giornale, Juve will ‘accelerate’ to bring back Leonardo Spinazzola from Atalanta where he is currently on loan. Despite the Orobici insisting on keeping the player for another season, Juve may have an edge due to the player wanting to return to Turin ahead of schedule.
Next up, the Bianconeri are looking to complete deals for Valencia’s Portuguese right-back, Joao Cancelo and Argentine centre-back Ezequiel Garay. Cancelo is expected to cost at least €25m, at least €8m more than Juve are prepared to spend.
Inter Milan may offer competition for the signing of both players, either of which could be exchanged with Geoffrey Kondogbia who could live Milan this summer. City’s Eliaquim Mangala, Roma’s Kostas Manolas and Lazio’s Stefan de Vrij are seen as possible alternatives at the back.
Cancelo is an absolute gem and in all honesty and upgrade over De Sciglio. He can move forward Alex Sandro style, dribbling is immense for a right back and he’s a pretty good tackler too. Really hoping this one materializes soon, at $25 million this is a bargain honestly. You’re getting a international starter at 23 years old, imagine how much better he will become.
I mirror your feelings on the player, we need to secure this signing ASAP and honestly id be content with this transfer window. I do not want us to spend a lot of money on a DM if they wont seriously be an improvement on who we have.
Agree. Then Pjanic, Khedira and Marchisio must rotate in midfield. A right back is the most needed. De Sciglio is good, but offers too little going forward.
