First Conte's farewell. Then the sudden stop in the negotiations for Iturbe, with the Argentine talent ending up in Rome, to reinforce the most direct competitor for the Scudetto. Finally, the lightning signature of Allegri, little appreciated by the square and on paper inferior to the coach of the record three years. Let's also add Nedved's dig at Chiellini on the Suarez case ("It was a child") and the tough position taken by Emma Agnelli, wife of the president Andrea ("But what do you think, my husband twiddling his thumbs on the sofa instead to do his fucking best to solve a problem that someone else has created?”), and all the clues lead to a real nervous breakdown at Juventus.
However, Juventus has a title to defend and a glorious history to honor, so the reaction has already begun. Right from the market, where until a few days ago the Old Lady had little conviction. Now however, after the signings of Morata and Pereyra, the assault on a new defender to give to Allegri has already started: the department is in fact in need of a bit of modernization and even the purchase of Evra does not go in that direction.
In the Juventus directors' notebook there are the names of Savic (hot lead for an exchange with the Chilean Isla plus a balance in favor of Fiorentina?), Nastasic and the Colombian talent Balanta. But even in attack the hunt won't stop at Alvaro Morata: the name of prestige and experience is always at stake. It won't be Drogba, who returns to Chelsea, but Eto'o's candidacy remains current.
And how do Juventus' opponents respond? After all, Rome and Naples came in behind and must therefore reinforce themselves even more. The Giallorossi company is certainly doing it, which apparently confirms Benatia and above all blows a goal away from Juve by investing almost 30 million in the talent of Juan Manuel Iturbe. At the moment, Verona is making the deal, but Roma aren't selling anyone and are relaunching with excellent signings. Will it be enough, with the Champions League involved, to worry Juventus?
Probably yes, while the Napoli market is still essentially on standby, and only in a month's time will it be certain of whether or not it will participate in the major European competition. At the moment, defender Koulibaly and forward Michu have landed: still not much to warm up the square, but compared to past seasons (first Lavezzi, then Cavani) no 90 piece has been sold.
