The right middle ground. Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli speaks from Riyadh, where on Friday the Bianconeri will face Milan in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup, and clarifies the terms of the separation from captain Danilo, who was left out of the squad on the eve of the new year and destined to leave in the winter transfer window. “We agree with his entourage and we are looking for a solution that is good for him and for Juventus – explains the Juventus manager to the Lega Serie A channels -. When there is a player on the market, there must be approval of both parties.” Translated: Danilo would like Napoli, but Juve and De Laurentiis’ club have not yet reached an agreement.

Giuntoli then also addresses the topic of incoming negotiations, not ruling out surprises: “Zirkzee? There’s no need to name names, but we’re keeping an eye out for any interesting opportunities. And we’ll move to look for someone in defence.” Finally, a programmatic message for the new year and the new Juventus course: “It will certainly be a virtuous path – he guarantees -: we are convinced of our path and it just takes a little time”. And already the possibility of playing for a trophy can be a stage of growth: “We arrive with a few more players, we are happy. For Juve every trophy is an objective and we will do everything to win – concludes Giuntoli -. With Milan it will be a great fight, may the best win.”
