Juventus could make a surprise January bid for Borussia Dortmund’s Ilkay Gundogan.
The German midfielder has a contract with Die Borussen until June 2017 but it’s been reported that he is unwilling to sign an extension.
Manchester United, Liverpool and a host of other clubs and hoping to sign the 25-year-old at the end of the current season, however Italian daily Tuttosport report that Juve may try a different strategy by making a January offer.
The Italian paper suggest that the Bianconeri may make a bid in the region of €25m, despite Gundogan being unable to play for Juve in the Champions League.
*Side note – This move is highly unlikely to happen because:
a) When has Beppe Marotta ever wanted to spend that amount of money in January?
b) Juve have a relatively strong midfield as it stands
c) Why sign a play that’s already cup tied?
…..but hey, it’s all ‘news’ 😉
I agree, it’s very unlikely.
He’s not cup tied to Champions League.
Unlikely to happen, but it would be a nice move
No way. We have Lemina on the bench. Let’s just use him more, considering he has some of the best CM stats in his limited playing time. If you’re gonna buy someone, buy a new coach.
Couldn’t agree more. Lemina has impressed me. Use him more. No more Hernanes and Padoin. Also use Rugani more before he decides to leave us. And the most important thing, save money to get a new coach. Not only is he not a good coach he is also ignoring our youth. Lippi just said that he is ready to coach again. Get him, and do it now. Or get Ancelotti. But i would prefer Lippi.
Amen!
