Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Juventus have opened second transfer talks of the summer: Bologna defender Ricardo Calafioli after coming close to finalising a deal for Felipe Anderson's visa-free deal.
According to Fabrizio Romano's latest news, the Bianconeri's signings for next season are already starting to take shape. The transfer expert reported on Monday night that Juve are close to reaching a final transfer agreement with Lazio winger Felipe Anderson.
The Brazilian winger, who has played for Porto and West Ham United, did not opt to renew his contract with the Azzards, so he could move to Juventus on a free transfer at the end of the season.
At the same time, Juventus are also trying to strengthen the team's defense. Fabrizio Romano claims that talks to sign Bologna defender Calafiori have begun.
Calafiori, who came through the Roma academy and moved to Bologna from Basel last summer, has been a key player under Thiago Motta this season, making 33 appearances in all competitions.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Juventus have been informed that they set a sale clause when Basel sold Calafioli to Bologna for €4 million last summer.
Football Market website journalist Daniel Longo has revealed that Thiago Motta could sign a contract with Juventus in the coming weeks.
Italian media have been speculating that Allegri will leave the Bianconeri at the end of the season, with Juventus hoping to find a new manager.
In an interview with the Juventibus podcast, Football Market reporter Longo shared some new information about Juve's contact with Bologna boss Motta, saying:
Milan spoke to Thiago Motta's representatives, but the Rossoneri were informed that the coach had reached an agreement in principle with Juventus and was reluctant to negotiate with other clubs. ”
"From sources close to Thiago Motta, I was told that the Italian-Brazilian coach should sign for Juventus in the coming weeks. ”
Juventus legend Fabrizio Lavanelli believes that a change of manager will not solve all the problems that exist at the club.
After two months of embarrassment of winning just one game, the Bianconeri are finally back on winning track. In an interview with Torino Sport, Lavanelli spoke about speculation about Allegri's future, believing that solving some of the club's problems will require more than just the appointment of a new manager.
"I think Juve's first half against Fiorentina was admirable, inspired by the enthusiasm to win the Coppa Italia, showing determination, personality, desire and energy. They managed to break the deadlock and even had a chance to extend their lead, but they narrowly missed it. ”
'However, in the last 20 minutes of the second half, their intensity weakened and I wasn't sure why, whether it was a tactical decision or fatigue, but they were vulnerable. ”
Ravanelli admits that the substitutions had an impact on Juve's performance: "Of course, the substitutions didn't help Juve maintain their high intensity when they struggled, but in addition, it was crucial to secure the victory to get out of a challenging situation, and they did it. They could build on this victory, as the first half of the season proved, facing adversity but ultimately coming out victorious. ”
Regarding the recent transfer rumours surrounding Brecmer, Pulsatilla was skeptical that Juve would be able to find a suitable replacement if they chose to sell the Brazilian defender: "If Juventus decide to cash out, I'm not sure how many players will be able to match Bremer's level. ”
In response to speculation that former Juventus boss Antonio Conte could return, Ravanelli said: "Do the fans want Conte? They know that he is a symbol of Juventus and they may gravitate towards him due to confidence in his work ethic and expertise. ”
"However, just appointing a new coach does not solve all the problems, it requires a comprehensive plan and time, because just changing the manager does not guarantee immediate success, and rebuilding a team takes time and the right players. ”
