So far our mercato is looking good and as long as we wont sell any important player it will stay that way.

Now our management is probably focused on that CM we badly need.Good thing is that there are options within our reach (30-40m)

Maybe we could offer Lotito 40m + Sturaro for SMS.
Then there are Matic and W.Carvahlo who would cost around 40m as well.
Or we could even go for R.Sanches on loan with option to buy, that guy would be amazing here.
So far E.Can is mentioned to be a target and he's not bad but I would prefer the names mentioned above.

Next we'll try to make some final moves by selling one of our useless midfield trio Rincon,Stu & Lemina (hope Lemina stays as he's the best of the trio) and bring Cancelo who's very good imo. And finaly we might go for Keita Balde and offload Cuadrado? And that 5th CB on the cheap. If we complete that without Dybala or Sandro leaving that's the best mercato ever.

Emre Can: Liverpool star agrees Juventus terms, Reds likely to accept £30.4m bid - report

LIVERPOOL star Emre Can has agreed personal terms with Juventus, according to reports in Italy.

The Germany international has spent the past three years on the Reds’ books since arriving at Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen in a £9.75m deal.

But his long-term future has been the subject of much speculation with just 12 months left to run on his Liverpool contract.

Serie A giants Juventus are said to be keen on adding Can to their title-winning squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.

And fresh claims suggest the 23-year-old wants to swap Merseyside for Turin to link up with Max Allegri this summer.

“Transfer Market Web claim Liverpool star Emre Can could soon be on the way to Juventus”

Transfer Market Web reckon Can has accepted an offer from Juventus.

And they indicate Allegri is set to bid £30.4m (€34m) for the midfielder.

Transfer Market Web claim Liverpool are likely to accept that proposal.

Jurgen Klopp may look to put the money towards signing Naby Keita from RB Leipzig.

The Guinea ace, 22, is now thought to be the Liverpool gaffer’s top target.

Although it could cost more than £75m to prise him away from his current club.

Bologna favourites for Rincon
By Football Italia staff

Juventus are preparing to sell Tomas Rincon, with Bologna the favourites ahead of Fiorentina, Torino and Atalanta, freeing Godfred Donsah for the Granata.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Rincon’s agent met with Bianconeri directors this afternoon to discuss the options available to him.

There are proposals from Bologna, Torino, Atalanta and Fiorentina for the former Genoa midfielder.

However, Corriere dello Sport pundit Matteo Pedrosi maintains Bologna are already in advanced negotiations and close to a deal.

This would then free Donsah to join Torino instead, as he is the first choice for Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Juve veto sends Keita to Inter?
By Football Italia staff

Lazio have reportedly vetoed Keita Balde Diao joining Juventus, so the Senegal international is open to Inter instead.

The striker has refused to sign a new contract and his current deal expires in June 2018, so a summer exit seems inevitable.

According to Mediaset Premium, Lazio President Claudio Lotito has informed Keita that there will be no sale to Juventus, despite the fact they are his favoured option.

The Biancocelesti had already agreed terms with Milan last month, but Keita turned them down.

Now that his alternatives are becoming limited, Keita is prepared to listen to the offer on the table from Luciano Spalletti’s Inter.

The price-tag for the 22-year-old is in the region of €25m, as last season he scored 16 goals with five assists in 31 Serie A appearances.

Kostas Manolas agrees Juventus deal
JULY 25, 2017

Kostas Manolas has reportedly agreed terms with Juventus over a move to Turin this summer.

The less than reliable SportItalia report that Juve are looking to replace Leonardo Bonucci and as such, have turned their attentions to Roma’s young Greek centre back.

Manolas was scheduled to join Zenit St Petersburg before the move collapsed meaning the likelihood of him leaving is higher than expected, even if it is to a direct rival as Roma look to balance their books ahead of next season.

SportItalia suggest that the Bianconeri have a deal in principle in place with Manolas, leaving them to negotiate with Roma for the 26-year-old defender.

It’s reported Roma would be prepared to part with their young centre-back for an offer in the region of €30m.

Why tho

by juve_gigi Wed Jul 26, 2017 8:46 am

Rugani may not be ready yet to take on a full time starting role. Barzagli looked old in the CL final and was destroyed by Marcelo. And Benatia is average at best. Manolas would be an upgrade over all of them really...

I'd rather see reports of us inquiring about Caldara returning this summer instead of next (even though Atalant's president said he's staying). While, I'm not doubting Manolas, nor am I particularly rating him too highly, if we swapped Bonucci for Manolas +10M, I think that's quite poor but I am one to reserve judgement until a) the transfer the actually happens and b) he has a chance to play for the team, obviously Manolas has been very good for Roma.

by juve_gigi Wed Jul 26, 2017 10:07 am

Manolas is used to playing in a 4 man backline. Obviously Bonucci is a superior talent but Bonucci's superiority comes mostly from playing as a sweeper in a 3 man backline. When he played in a 4 man backline he wasn't as dominant. In some games he was actually average and was exposed defensively.

The defender most affected by a change to a 4-2-3-1 is Bonucci. I think that is why it was a mutual departing. Allegri knows in a 4 man backline he is not losing much by playing Barzagli or Benatia over Bonucci. One could make an argument that Manolas is actually better in a back 4 than Bonucci.

I can guarantee you Milan switches to a back 3 to accommodate Bonucci. If they don't then we will determine how dominant he will be and whether it was a good move to sell him.

Juventus look at Goretzka

Juventus have approached Schalke 04 to ask after Germany international Leon Goretzka, according to Italian reports.

Sports reporter Giovanni Albanese, who works for Il Fatto Quotidiano newspaper and Calciomercato.it, claims that important developments are expected over the next few days.

The 22-year-old already has nine senior caps for his country, in which he scored three goals.

His contract is due to expire in June 2018 and this could give Juve the edge in negotiations.

Schalke bought Goretzka from VfL Bochum in 2013 for €3.25m (£2.9m) and the current price-tag is over €25m (£22.3m).

Last season he contributed eight goals and six assists in 41 competitive games for Schalke.

Milan have also been linked with Goretzka, who plays primarily as a central midfielder.

by Luca Wed Jul 26, 2017 10:32 am

I think the Bonucci in a back 4 lines are mythical. He's a top 5 CB in the world, in a back 2, 3, 16 or 47. And for those traits, he is irreplaceable.

However, Juventus defends as a unit and we have a lot of strength in the back. So, I'm not overly concerned about leaking goals. Additionally, any team that wants to go shot for shot with us will probably lose with the firepower we've added up front.

Again, I'll re-visit the midfield and again, I'll say, there aren't a lot of any attractive names being linked with us here and that's somewhat disappointing but I also don't see a massive group of midfielders with the characteristics we could benefit from acquiring. At this time last year, we had already acquired Pjanic on a great deal. The year before, we acquired Khedira on a free. So far, we are suffering here.

Also, Mandragora looked rather solid in last week's friendly. @rincon may be onto something.

by Tomwin Lannister Wed Jul 26, 2017 10:52 am

Bonucci over the last 2 seasons has been the best CB in the World for me. Even if you dislike him placing him outside of the top 3 is still a stretch. Can't believe we made maybe £30,000,000 at a push for his sale to a rival, meanwhile 'rivals' in the league physically veto players moving from them to Juve. We're a *bleep* charity Laughing

I'm fine with Manolas coming, bit stupid though when we have Caldara who for all of Atalanta's posturing, would be ours this Summer for a few million pounds of 'Sorry we're backtracking' money.

I would take Vidal back in a heartbeat. Usually I am firmly against players returning because its never really the same but considering how shit the market is for midfielders (or as it seems), I would be all for it in this case

Edit- I'm probably delusional for thinking it's possible Vidal returns, the idea is just so exciting.

by lucianomoggi Wed Jul 26, 2017 11:55 pm

If the market gives us good options to choose we should go for that

But If not we are already good with guys like Marchisio, Khedira, Sturaro, Rincon, Lemina there is no need to just bring a player unless he will be a really important player

by Luca Thu Jul 27, 2017 12:14 am

I think that midfield is quite subpar compared with the rest of the team

That midfield can't hold a candle to our MVPP one.

Sturaro, Rincon and Lemina are either too technically inept or just plain stupid (Lemina) with their decision making to play in big games. Marchisio and Khedira are both very injury prone and Khedira in particular is underwhelming in games where we don't dominate possession

We need a better midfield than that. I personally don't want to watch us play Madrid again with Pjanic being our only reliable midfielder.

by rincon Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:04 am

We'll end up making Mandzukic a DM and be done with it :coffee:

There is a terrible lack of good CMs in football atm. Its hard to get top ones. We needed to have jumped in for Diawara, Gagliardini or Kessie instead of our band of scrubs (Stu, Rincon and Lemina). Those will grow into top ones and are more or less types we need.

It's a huge shame that Mandragora lost so much time with injuries. The kid showed more promise than almost any young player in Serie A/B. Now we have to wait to see if he can make it in the future.

I don't believe the Matuidi rumors, or Manolas. I think we are targeting Can.

New Transfer: Ivan Sesar joins Juventus
JULY 26, 2017 3:15 PM

Ivan Sesar, the former player of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s national team, is the newest player of Juventus, the news agency Patria reports.

This experienced 27-year-old played for Siroki Brijeg and Sarajevo in our country and, besides the PLBiH, played in Turkey, Croatia, Slovenia and Slovakia.

He signed a one-year agreement with the Romanian team, with a possibility of an extension after the agreement’s expiration. Juventus didn’t pay a penalty since he terminated his contract with Siroki Brijeg beforehand.

Even though there was talk about him moving to Zeljeznicar, Sesar after all decided to continue his career abroad.

by Luca Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:26 am

Sorry, who?

by juve_gigi Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:30 am

Ivan Sesar. He's our new DM...

World class player really... :coffee:

by Luca Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:34 am

Oh, Ivan Sesar, that's right.

Great signing.
