From Milinkovic Savic to Koopmeiners: Juve, the 5 names for after Rabiot

Adrien Rabiot is very likely to leave Juve at the end of the season. The Frenchman was sincere in saying that he still wants to play in the Champions League (the black and whites are not sure, between penalties and a climb to the Europa League) but more generally it will be difficult for the club to keep him in the face of double-digit salary offers in I come from the Premier League. A couple of top clubs are already on his trail, ready to attack: Continassa could at most increase the salary bonuses of 7 million that he already receives. In short, off to the search for a replacement.

Last year these days Juve began to move seriously for Milinkovic Savic, to then divert to the return of Pogba. The dream is still alive, but the conditions remain demanding and for now the Bianconeri have to take every variation into consideration. The Serbian will enter his last year of contract with Lazio next summer, but Lotito doesn’t want to know how to lower the demands to sell him: 50-60 million the request to release him before the deadline. And under these conditions, the deal for Juve is prohibitive. Also because there would already be an important salary for the player, around 5-6 million. But the scenario could suddenly change in the face of an opening to deal on more accessible figures and conditions.

The Sassuolo workshop is always expensive, let alone in front of an auction. Speaking of Davide Frattesi, the premise is necessary, considering that last summer Roma seemed one step away from signing him. Juve is there, she revealed herself later but now she seems to be more convincing with the project she has for the boy. The valuation of the class of 1999 stands at around 30-35 million: in short, it would not be a bargain but in all respects a targeted investment. Is it the midfielder who could come in handy for Allegri? Affirmative answer. But the competition from other clubs remains a theme that should not be underestimated, to avoid giving up on other alternative tracks and then finding yourself with the match in hand. The footballer would find a great friend in Turin: Claudio Marchisio.

There is also the risk of a sudden upward bid for Lecce’s Hjulmand, but here Juve seem ahead of Rome and Atalanta, or other English clubs that remain vigilant about the player. The Danish midfielder has a valuation of 20-25 million and a more than affordable salary: and in recent months he has shown that he can deserve the leap to a big club. Same age as Frattesi, in the Salento club he wears the captain’s armband and this also shows a certain ability in managing leadership. He has technique, vision of the game: the umpteenth magic of Corvino, who bought him in the summer of 2021 for 170,000 euros and could now sell him for much more. Between last year and this year he doesn’t seem to have paid for the jump in category from B to A: it could be a bargain.

Always in Lecce, watch out for Gonzales. Who is born in 2002, so he is less experienced, but in perspective he could prove to be another high-level midfielder. Drawn from the Barcelona cantera, and initially passed by the Primavera formation, the class of 2002 has grown a lot in the last fifteen months, especially in terms of character. In the event of Hjulmand’s sale, he should inherit his starting position, barring interesting offers that could upset the priorities in the starting list. There is still time because Lecce does not want to know how to make the price before having mathematically conquered salvation in Serie A: then, however, they will have to be ready. Operation around 15 million.

The fifth name on Juve’s post-Rabiot list could be Koopmeiners from Atalanta. For which, however, at the moment there are no contacts or hints of dialogue between the clubs. The Dutchman has been playing in Serie A for a year and a half and could occupy any area of ​​the midfield. A ductility that could conquer Allegri, even more because he scores a lot by entering from behind. Here, however, the valuation is higher, as he is a footballer who is already quite well known and with the necessary maturity to aspire to join a top team: the auction would start from 30 million, with the risk of finding himself crushed by some English club ready to play at lift to take it away immediately. For now, the Bianconeri are only evaluating the idea, they haven’t moved so far.
