Reports in Italian and Dutch media suggest Wesley Sneijder has agreed a move to Juventus but the Bianconeri are still negotiating over the price.
Juventus coach Max Allegri has been very open about the clubs pursuit of the Dutch midfielder, referring to Sneijder as a “a feasible luxury” while the players agent confirmed Juve’s interest earlier today.
“Juventus do want Sneijder,” Guido Albers told Dutch publication De Telegraaf.
“But only when an agreement is reached between the clubs will the hypothesis of coming back to Italy be considered.
“Until then he’s only going to concentrate on Galatasaray. If there should be a transfer, he would be happy to come back to Italy, where he won his best victories.”
Following on from that earlier report, Sportsmediaset in Italy are now reporting that a deal has been struck with the player over a move to Turin, but Juventus are yet to reach an agreement with Galatasaray. The news outlet suggest that Juventus are willing to pay €7.5m for the player while the Turkish side want closer to €10m.
dammit
I think this deal is going ahead – Allegri was open about it and has spoken about him more than once. He’s a professional player, at least. He knows he’ll be playing and he’ll get paid.
Only other option for him is United and LVG.
Definitely not the player i wanted at Juve, but better than the other names we were linked with. shaqiri would have been great
i still don’t understand why we didn’t get shaqiri. he has what this team lacks. but this isn’t the first time we’ve been disappointed in the market and it won’t be the last. hopefully we can bring berardi back in the summer.
i think it’s because Inter offered Bayern more and Shaqiri got a better deal as well. Juve wanted to loan and review at the end of the season. Inter offered the loan plus an obligation to buy in the summer
Allegri, i believe, also said that shaqiri does not fit the type of player that he wants and would rather have sneijder. Doesn’t seem to be about money. Not sure what allegri is thinking
so we want slow, unexplosive, lethargic players?
I think that’s pretty harsh … Sneijder is still a very good player, he has experience and he brings something with him. He was an integral part of a very good dutch team at the world cup. Everyone is masterbating over Shaqiri like he’s the 2nd coming of Christ. Sneijder is proven and still very good. He’s been in shitty environments the last few years of his career (the tail end of his Inter tenure and at Gala), so maybe coming here will re-ignite his competitive fire.
Both players are cup tied anyway, so I really don’t get the fuss over picking either of them up. Pointless acquisitions.
sneijder was the netherland’s setpiece specialist. we already have the best in the world at that. shaqiri has what this squad lacks. an explosive, quick player who can take defenders on. Sneijder can’t run like he used to nor has he ever been a player who takes players head on.
yes, but Shaqiri is going to Inter ……………
I agree with Adp. That is harsh… im sure sneijder can do good for us, but i see no point in signing him. Had he not been cup tied, id be ok with welcoming him because he can help decide important matches, but hes cup tied and with him, comes a fat salary. We dont need reinforcements for serie a; only need to stop assuming the game is over after one half. Alas, i dont want this move to formulate. I rather sign no one and keep our salary wages down. And what kind of message would that be to players like Lich for example. We refuse to give Lich 3 mill per season, but ok with giving someone whose done bubkis for us a tasty looking salary? No thanks. Why dont we just play Pogba uptop ffs
Agreed with that, I rather have nobody now than signing yet another veteran who has had his best time already
Shaqiri is more a winger than a n° 10, I guess Allegri wants a real n° 10 in stead of Vidal or Pereyra on that spot, not so bad idea, but Sneijder and Pirlo together ???
Allegri wants a #10 and Shaqiri is more of a winger, I guess thats the reason.. Which is a stupid one, Shaqiri is by far the better option to go for.
well, If Sneijder achieves his best form, I’m okay with the deal, then we can switch our diamond midfield from
Pirlo _ Pogba Marchisio _ Vidal
TO
Marchisio_Pogba Vidal _ Sneijder
