Marco Verratti has been pictured in Monaco with his agent, leading to reports that the two will be meeting with Juventus regarding a possible move.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus are closely following Verratti’s situation, along with a number of other clubs including Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Sky report that Verratti is currently on vacation in the principality with his family and agent Donato Di Campli, and is expected to attend the Champions League match between Monaco and Juventus.
Reports in certain UK papers also suggest that Juve are pushing to sign the young midfielder who is valued at €80m, and while the price tag won’t be a problem for the Bianconeri, their frosty relations with PSG may prove a sticking point.
Sounds good to me. All he has to say is “I want Juve” and it’s a done deal.
Not in topic but terrible performance from atletico madrid. They are at the end of their cycle players seems demotivated and out of breath not a single idea in the second half. In topic if we get this guy we will he unreachable for many years to come.
and yes, that was the weakest Atletico Ive seen in years…………..
but why Verratti? We have Pjanic,dont get that wrong,but do we really need Verratti?
Exactly!!! i rather we spend on Tolisso, and use our big money for Alexis Sanches or Mbappe
Yeah. Absolutely! Tolisso is a must.
Sanchez in for Mandzu. But youre right there is a lot of nationalism at Juve. Ive never understood why there are always italian coaches….
yup we are slowly turning like Bayern lol, i don’t mind the Nationalism as long as it doesn’t get in the way of talent.
There are rumors that our management wants an italian keeper to replace Buffon, like really? a good goal keeper fit to reach Buffon’s level is hard to find as it is, now forcing that person to be italian…well it doesn’t do the percentage of success any favors! My guess is the next Buffon will likley turn out to be a German, Perin and Donarrumma have a chance…but i just dont see it happening
This fiasco with Verratti, it is apparent that Pjanic has struggled with us this season, but at his best i would take him over Verratti Any day!, i honestly don’t know what the hype is surrounding Verratti, He isn’t that great from what i have seen, and even from YouTube highlights he doesn’t seem like anything special. an 80M price tag WOULD BE BEYOND FOOLISH! we would be the Italian ManUnited if we fell for that Horrible deal.
Then the deal with DeSciglio…like really? a once promising player about half a decade ago! Someone that is now an Average player at his best! whom no one outside of italy knows about, someone with no Marketability! that is our Sandro substitute? On top of that our substitute now lies in the ability of Max to resurrect him? (i’m not saying it isn’t possible, i’m just pointing out how big of a gamble it is) and that if we really are in a gambling mood, then lets buy a promising teen, someone we could potentially re-sale, not De Sciglio who will likely end up leaving for peanuts, if not free, if his resurrection process fails.
I dont understand, i am Bamboozled and Preplexed on why the fuck we arn’t making a bid for Mendy! are we waiting for a shitty ass Manchester Club or some dying Spanish Giant to buy him first?
Dear fucking Lord i’m truly scared for some of these gambles our management seems to be making in the name of nationalism (as these proposed deals follow no logic, nor make sense from any angle in footballing terms); we can potentially go downhill from here we’ll have to wait and see.
Only a short comment, not that I didn’t enjoy your inputs.
Our management has more than excelled in the past years, going from one brilliant deal to the next. I must say that bringing in Barzagli probably had many crying for someone else.
I trust our management, and although I would love to see a replicate of Sandro on the other flank (such as Mendy) I expect that our sports directors and management has a brilliant master plan.
True that Storm!
that bit i said about going downhill was more for the Drama effect lol
True words mate!
An Italian club prefers an Italian coach because they are simply familiar with the league, culture and language. Just like Spanish teams like a Spanish or Spanish-speaking coach, Germans prefer Germans and English prefer English.. it is just an easy start for both coach and team to communicate and understand each other.
Besides that, any team likes to have a core of players with the same nationality as the club, it is a source of pride. Why do you think Barca wants catalunyans, Bayern want Germans and why would English teams pay such huge sums of money on English players? Every team has this, except those fuckers from Inter who buy anything
Sanchez and Ozil are holding out for £250 – £300k a week at Arsenal! That would smash our wage structure to pieces. I just can’t see it happening with our sensible management. There are lots of Arab oil rich clubs or Chinese clubs that will pay that sort of insane salary for talent, but we are not likely to be one of them (if we have any sense – Sanchez is great on his day, but not quarter of a million a week great….).
Verratti is all-round good to great and likely the best Italian CM at the moment, who is on top of that a Juvefan. Seems reasonable to at least look into the option eh.
It is nice for him to be a juve fan, and for us to have a childhood fan as our player, but that shouldn’t mean we make dumb business deals; every single link i read about Verratti claims he will go for M80+, i really dont see the spectacular talent everyone raves about, From what i’ve seen Verratti is: Slow, Weak(isnt a physical presence), bad from Distance, however he makes good pasess and has some Creativity, but he isnt a step up from Pjanic, i would actually consider Verratti a step down from Pjanic,
I have not read anything about Bayern, or RealMadrid links, it seems that Only Barca and Juve want him from everything i read
Fuck Veratti! Fuck DiSciglio! lets STOP with the Italian NATIONALISM and Sign the good players!!!!
– Tolisso
– Mendy
As I explained below, this rant makes little sense. Tolisso would be my prime target for the midfield too, but you simply cannot just pass the opportunity to sign Verratti. He is wanted by every top team there is dude. Barca want him, Real want him, Bayern want him but the guy is a Juvefan. We have a shot at getting him and must at least try to fork out a deal.
No idea why you are raving so much about Mendy, I will see him play for the first time tonight. Lets see what he does eh!

look at the games vs Manchester and PSG and BVB and Nice, and so forth, he is basically a younger Sandro
Yes, because he knows the team, the league, the culture and the language, having played there before!
i really don’t care if we get Veratti or not, all i want is a wonderful RB, a dazzling winger and a CF with more than just potentials as back up for Higuain, if we must get MF, let’s get a super creative one irrespective of his nationality or his childhood fanclub.
