The transfer window is open and the mercato rumors have begun flying. That said, Juventus seem to be focusing on a few very specific needs for the team, as well as the usual signings of young players who hold potential for the future. Juve have now completed yet another of these signings, with ex-PSG youngster Kingsley Coman officially signing with the club today, per the Juventus website.
The 18 year old Coman has agreed to a five year contract, though it is unknown if he will be a member of the first team, play with the youth squads, or go out on loan. Nevertheless, Coman is highly rated and this could be yet another fine free transfer for the club.
Here, from Juventus.com, is the club’s official press release:
Juventus Football Club can today confirm that Kingsley Coman has joined the club from Paris Saint-German after agreeing terms on a five-year contract. The 18-year-old French midfielder, born in Paris on 13 June 1996, began life at the US Sénart-Moissy academy, where his impressive performances soon attracted the attention of PSG, who swooped to secure his services in 2004. After rising through the youth ranks, Coman became PSG’s youngest ever player when he made his Ligue 1 debut at the age of 16 on 17 February 2013, coming off the bench to replace Marco Verratti against Sochaux. Coman, who is predominantly right-footed, is a technical and creative player blessed with extraordinary pace, long-range shooting ability and a unique vision to dictate the game. All these qualities have allowed him to don the national team’s jersey from the Under 16s up until the Under 21 squad where he made his debut in a friendly against Singapore on 2 June 2013. He marked his first appearance in style, scoring in a 6-0 win for Les Bleus.
he’s going to be with the first team?
I hope so. We haven’t had a youngster in the team (beside Pogba) for a long time
A long time ago was just about 2 years ago :p
that’s what rumors say
I’ve read a few articles saying he’s going to be loafed out
based from my trollings from other Juve fan sites, their “sources” understands he and Marrone will be loaned out..
I don’t get why Marrone should go out on loan again!
We need a wide squad.
I dont get it either. Conte seemed very trustful of him in his first season. He was the one to block any loan/ Co-ownership deals regarding Marrone.
OT: Napoli is close to signing Swansea striker Michu.
I have never seen this kid play, but I’m looking forward to seeing him cause if management decided to get a young foreigner for the first team then he must be pretty special.
Whether hes for the first team or not is still uncertain.
I tried to at least gather up some stats about this Coman fella, but nothing. I think he went from youth academy to Psg’s first team, but i dont remember exactly what i read
A bit off topic:
Rumors have emerged that Madird are going to splash out 40 mill for Verratti and Psg are willing to accept to help fund their 75 mill bid for Pogba.
If we were to sell Pogba, i was hoping to have Verratti come our way.
I would if rumors are true give psg pogba and take verattii and 35million and reinvest that money to get either di maria or sanchez
Also what is this stupid rumor we are paying 18million for morata are they seriously thinking that much
The only way Pogba goes to PSG is for in exchange for Verratti and another player/cash. Id gladly accept Verratti and Moura in exchange.
screw evra. he’s 33, past his prime, and he’s a terrible crosser. even worse, man u are trying to offload evra and go for ricardo rodriguez even though they’ve already spent like 40mil on a LB this season. we should go for rodriguez. the dude can cross which is something llorente really needs, especially in a 4-3-3. look what 2 good crosses did for us against RM.
Im highly against this move too. We dint need a washed up Lb that even in his prime was suspect to lazy defending.
I’d rather just have Asa at left back than Evra.
He needs to learn the position from someone whos mastered it first.
Evra in Serie A is completely different than Evra in EPL or WC. Serie A is more laid back, he will have more time on the ball and will be forced to play a more tactical game. Its also slower, he will do fine against all but a few players. He WAS also one of the best of his generation, which brings great experience to the team, and our potential 2015-16 LB Asamoah.
it’s not serie a im concerned about. it’s the CL. evra can’t cross for shit. 2 good crosses from caceres lead to llorente scoring two goals. with good crossers, llorente can be incredible in the CL
The forum is a ghost town, In other news Brazil got mutilated
yup!.. made a bet on Germany to win.. Argentina-Germany finals? but im hoping for a Netherlands-Germany Finals…
Yes! An all European affair… And Netherlands for the win!
I want Argentina to win but Netherlands and Germany would be an absolute thriller, expect loads of goals if that match occurs.
I would hate Argentina to make it. Plus Germany would just whoop their asses too. Netherlands vs Germany would be a more interesting match up imo
You and your bets lol
🙂
Did you go all in again? If so, do it for more Juve matches because it seems to work.
didn’t go all in… just half 😛 when I read that Thiago Silva would not play, I saw a potential easy money 😛
Do you get more wins or losses?
With the amount of money he gambles with, I dont think hed have a computer to comment on if he had more losses. haha
Hahah very true
Lost 2x in the Italy matches.. since I support Juve.. had a big bet on England-Italy. it was a no brainer bet. Easily would pick Italy on that.
world cup betting is quite difficult. so I had a controlled approached on my betting.. Won with the Chile ( and France Matches supporting Vidal and Pog-bomb.. luckily I was late to place my bet on the France-Germany game. last night won on rooting for Germany to win.
winnings coz I only made selected bets, not the aggressive or impulsive bets.. “discipline” 🙂
Brazil got buttfucked….and they probably liked it. Weirdos.
Lol at Brazil. I was laughing so much all game.
Only person I felt sorry for was David Luiz. Did you see him after the game? That guy’s way too nice to be a football player lol.
What he said to the press after the match was just heartbreaking.
Crazy news.. Nike to end Man Utd sponsorship and Adidas are front runners on a 750M Pounds Sponsorship deal.. how much will Juve get from Adidas on the sponsorship deal?
750 mill? Da feck?! I think we re only getting 200 mill
yup… 750Mill Pounds..
200Mill for how many years? Adidas’ terms is for a decade.
5 years i believe…
haha Thats a lot of money for a team that cant even win a proper treble this season. Hope that money brings them lots of luck in the FA Cup.
Adidas has offered to pay more than £60 million ($103 million) a year for a decade to sponsor soccer team Manchester United Ltd.
