Mid-August is also a busy day for Juventus managers, who, with the Super Cup archived, are ready to jump into the final rush of the transfer market. The week that starts today will be the last to decide what to do, then the attacker will be attacked. It's still difficult to speak of a "top player", after Cavani and Suarez disappeared in order and to get to Van Persie it would take a miracle.
However, Juve is aware of having gaps up front, and the Super Cup was the confirmation. Don't deceive the 4 goals scored against Napoli in Beijing: one was an own goal, two came from midfielders (one from a penalty) and Vucinic's was literally impossible to miss. The real disappointment was Matri, impalpable and confused throughout the first half, before Conte decided to replace him with the Montenegrin.
A tip capable of breaking matches is missing, a shortcoming that in the long run could cost Juve dearly, especially in Europe. Nuanced the first choices, however, interesting players remain, above all Fernando Llorente of Athletic Bilbao. In Spain they are convinced: the Basque will soon wear black and white. Perhaps precisely for this reason, President Josu Urrutia has called a press conference for today, even if it is probable that we will see the usual denials.
In any case, Llorente likes it, to tell the truth, not only Juve. The Basque is also of great interest to Mancini, who would like to take him to Manchester to replace the disgruntled Dzeko, which at that point would become Juventus' number one goal. The Pazzini track remains alive (although less probable), but eventually it will be discussed again in the last days of the transfer market. Marotta is also looking for a left winger, although Asamoah has filled the role quite well.
The names are always the same: Armero and Peluso. The first is very popular, but Udinese doesn't give discounts, which complicates things. The second, on the other hand, costs less, and he could also be used in central defence.
