With only a month left until the transfer market closes for the summer, Juve’s pursuit for a central midfielder has intensified and reports in Italy suggest they may bid for Barcelona’s Andre Gomes.
The Bianconeri are on the hunt for a high-quality midfielder to join Miralem Pjanic, Sami Khedira and Claudio Marchisio in making up a quarter that gives Max Allegri more options in the centre of the pitch.
Tuttosport report that in the last few days, Beppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici are once again considering Portuguese international Andre Gomes having missed out on the player last summer when he opted to join Barcelona.
Despite having joined the Blaugrana for €35m plus almost €20m in bonuses, the former Valencia man had a lackluster debut season and there are suggestions he may be allowed to leave this summer.
It’s reported Juve were not put off by the 24-year-old’s poor start to his Barcelona career and are prepared to make an offer to sign him, despite his hefty salary.
With Emre Can set to renew at Liverpool, Nemanja Matic joining Manchester United and Sevilla refusing to budge on their €40m asking price for Steven N’Zonzi, it’s believed Juve’s midfield signing will be either Gomes or PSG’s Blaise Matuidi.
Oj why. Is he really that defensive wanker we are searching for?
no way , he failed at barca like fuck.loan him , thats it.
Part of the dybala deal. We wait and see. Last year before signing to Barca I wanted him. With us he will be important still young of age. With Barca they have rakitic bousquet and iniesta both three are superior then our current midfield. Barca play a different style of football. I would take him.
mm, i dont know, i say take him on loan and will see.
Fuck Barca look at his Valencia highlights and his Portugal “euro cup” highlights, Gomes is CLASS! so is Renato Sanchez, but both Barca and Byern seemed to ruin the players instead of making them better, a quick remedy seeing at how it was just 1 season, and Gomes and Renato both continue to perform well in international duty.
is he really what we need? defensive beast with some pace, proper technique, some 1 who can keep the ball , who can pass, tackle ? i dont even know much about Gomes
We need vision Force vision a guy who can receive a ball from one end and let the same ball finish on the front line without resolving to hundreds of back passes. That way dybala can stay forward and have one on ones.One of the many problems we had in the finals is that only Bonucci tried to make the cut but failed miserably in the second half. We need a man ala Sousa which believe it or not was Portuguese and we won the last champions league with him. Still I bet these are little more than invented news.
yep vision is important but on the other side we also need some 1 who can tackle , who can outmuscle his opponent, some 1 like bakayoko(chelsea)some 1 who will keep running for the whole match, you get me right, is Gomes such type of player?
For sure he is no ball winner like vidal. Still I don’t believe this will happen.
All can have a bad year. Prior last year I wanted him to be part of our squad. Better than lemina rincon and sturaro for sure. Good technique and good vision. It’s what we need.
Thats right.
Well see.
Just thought Beppe e Para looking for Vidal 2.0
There are not any vidal 2 running around. If you want you can spend 60 70 mil and hefty wages something that apparently for the time being is out of question. Only Roma Naingollan can fill that place but for heavens sake I prefer andre all the way. Mental stability.
Why are we not looking to get Julian Weigl? he’s been dubbed the next sergio busquets due to similar playing style. He has good vision, good technique, and a great defensive contribution. Im sure he would like to take the jump to a bigger team and for a reasonable fee compared to matuidi,emre can, and nzonzi.
Not too excited about the prospect. Thinking we shouldnt have pulled out so easily from signing Tolisso
yea I am not to happy in how we let Tolisso slip away, but from the current prospects, Gomes definitively would be better than Can and Matuidi
Definatley Gomes over Matuidi! Gomes is Pure Class….He just wasn’t able to show it at Barca, Kinda like Renato Sanches with Bayern.
…. Still waiting for Cancelo to be confirmed though! he needs to be priority! No way is Mattia de Sciglio a replacement for Dani Alves.
