Former Juventus and the Italian national team's "young talent" - Sebastian Jovenko, whose contract with Saudi side Al Hilal expires at the end of the year. Paok from the Greek Super League, Udinese in Serie A, Spezia and Venice in Serie B are all hoping to sign Joe Wenko and bring him back to Europe.
Joe Wenko is from the Juventus academy system and has made a total of 132 appearances for the Bianconeri, scoring 20 goals and assisting 23 times. In 2008, he moved to Toronto FC and made 145 appearances in Major League Soccer, scoring 83 goals and assisting 51 times. In 2018, he moved to Al Hilal and in 2019 began working with Lucescu (currently Pahoek's head coach) to win the 2019 AFC Champions League. He made 83 appearances for Al Hilal, scoring 16 goals and assisting 19 times. For the national team, Jovenko made 23 appearances for Italy, scoring 1 goal.
So far, Jovenco has achieved the following honors: in Italy, three Serie A titles, one cup winner and two Super Cups. 2014-15 Major League MVP and Top Scorer. One Major League champion, two Saudi champions, one Saudi Cup, and one AFC Champions League.
Lucescu worked with Jovinko for two seasons in Saudi Arabia, building a good personal relationship. They have been communicating for several weeks for Joe Wenko to join Paoke. At the moment, it appears that the "Two-Headed Eagles" are ahead of other Italian teams in the competition to sign Joe Vinco. If nothing else, the 34-year-old attacking midfielder will be on the new season's Greek Premier League. However, his joining will directly affect Shinji Kagawa's status. Both men are in the "No. 10" position, both veterans who have played with grades and experience. In the new season, who can maintain good health, stable form, then he can get more opportunities to play.
