Juve market: summit with Zaniolo and Gnonto’s agent

The Juventus transfer market is progressing through assessments, contacts and meetings. Like the one yesterday at Continassa with one of the Azzurri’s agents Nicolò Zaniolo (Galatasaray) and Wilfried Gnonto (Leeds). In the late morning Marco Busiello, Claudio Vigorelli’s partner, was spotted at the entrance to the Juventus sports centre. A blitz to meet the dg Francesco Calvo and the ds Giovanni Manna, in recent days officially invested with the role of market man awaiting the arrival of Cristiano Giuntoli from Naples. So after the summit with Massimiliano Allegri before Udine and the one at the beginning of the week with Sassuolo for Davide Frattesi (Roma, Inter and Milan are also on the blue), here is a new appointment. This time, according to what filters from Juventus circles, there was talk of the two national teams of coach Roberto Mancini. One way to keep up to date on Zaniolo, who moved to Galatasaray in January after his divorce from Roma, and on Gnonto, fresh from relegation to the Championship (English Serie B) with Leeds.

If Church goes…

Zaniolo and Gnonto are intriguing ideas, not yet negotiations. Everything (or almost) will depend on Federico Chiesa’s future. The son of art, these days in the national team with Nicolò and Wilfried, despite a troubled season retains several admirers around Europe. Faith tears seem to particularly intrigue Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) and Thomas Tuchel (Bayern). At Continassa they are preparing for anything, even an indispensable offer (at least 40-45 million). In case of farewell of the number 7, both Zaniolo and Gnonto can become concrete options. Young (ex Roma 23, ex Inter 19), Italians, in the national team. And above all, at least on paper, potential opportunities. Zaniolo has a 30 million clause, but if Galatasaray does not pass the Champions League preliminaries, they could settle for a lower figure and also a loan formula with the right/obligation to buy. On loan, given that Leeds are in the lead in the Championship, Gnonto could also move.

Milik front

—

The other great suspect to be sacrificed in the name of the budget is Dusan Vlahovic, who remains in the sights of Bayern, Chelsea, Atletico, Manchester United, Newcastle and PSG. Waiting to understand how the future of DV9 will evolve, these are hot days on the Arek Milik front. Next week (June 15) Juve’s redemption option set at 7 million will expire. In the last few hours, the Bianconeri have come into contact with Marseille proposing a renewal of the loan for another 12 months, but this time with a mandatory redemption linked to the presence of the Pole or Juve’s Champions League qualification. At the Velodrome, where in recent days they have registered interest in Lazio’s Milik of his former coach Sarri, they answered “no, thank you” to the bianconeri. Gray smoke, not yet black. Allegri is pushing for the confirmation of Milik and the attacker would like to stay in Turin. In case of breakup, keep an eye on returning horse Alvaro Morata (the Spaniard is willing to cut his salary) and Gianluca Scamacca (West Ham), who could leave England on loan in the summer.
