Between the market, the Super Cup and the sporting trial. Juventus is preparing to experience what could become the most important day of its summer, and perhaps of the entire season. Today the first instance sentences relating to Scommessopoli will arrive from Rome: if the revelations of the Gazzetta dello Sport prove to be correct, Juve would lose Conte for 10 months (a whole season), but would find Bonucci and Pepe again, in the odor of complete acquittal .
At that point the company will make its assessments, but at least as far as the market is concerned Marotta would breathe a big sigh of relief. Indeed, it is clear that Bonucci's acquittal would put the defense speech in order, which would once again be 100% complete. The money saved could thus be invested in an attacker (the so-called top player), as per the original plan.
The blow in question will not be Suarez (who officially renewed his contract with Liverpool yesterday) and, barring sensational twists, not even Van Persie, who has decided to accept the court of Manchester United. Dzeko's prices are also down, while those of Fernando Llorente of Athletic Bilbao are soaring. The Basque striker, author of a great season under Bielsa's orders (which earned him a call-up for the European Championship), costs 25 million, but in Spain they are convinced that the deal will close for 20.
Juve are pressing, also because Llorente, in addition to being perfect for Conte's schemes, would be satisfied with a salary in line with the parameters of Corso Galileo Ferraris. His arrival would effectively free Matri, who could thus marry Milan. Important operations, which however will eventually come to life only starting from next week.
Because now, Scommessopoli aside, it's time to think about the Super Cup final, scheduled in Beijing in two days. Yesterday in the Juventus training camp Claudio Marchisio, one of the most acclaimed by the Chinese people, took the floor: "Saturday we will play for a very important trophy, we are reigning Italian champions and we have an excellent opportunity to demonstrate that we are still the strongest . We are very excited, Napoli has always put us in difficulty, but we are ready. Our opponents have improved every year and will also be dangerous rivals in the league together with Inter, Milan, Roma and Udinese".
Returning to the transfer market, Juve has placed an outgoing coup: Felipe Melo returns to Galatasaray on a onerous loan (1,5 million) with the right to buy (set at 7).
