Giuntoli aims to score two shots: the Slovakian on pole but it costs money, Skriniar and Antonio Silva resist
“We are looking around, he is a good player who we have been following for some time, but he is not the only one. We are at the window waiting for the cards to be revealed, we are aware that we will have to do something behind it”: words and music by Cristiano Giuntoli, who in the pre-match in Monza he spoke about the transfer market and in particular about David Hancko, the 27-year-old Slovakian defender from Feyenoord who the Juventus transfer man hopes to bring to Turin as early as January. Defense, as we know, is a priority for Juventus, who have lost Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal. One player will arrive for sure, maybe two especially if Danilo (who is in the sights of Napoli but not only, also of Marseille and some Premier clubs) were to leave.
For this reason, the management of the Lady is moving forward to try to carry out an operation at the beginning of the winter window and give Thiago Motta the reinforcement he needs in time to be able to face the challenging period that awaits the Bianconeri between the championship and the Champions League. , Super Cup and Italian Cup. Hancko is the favorite of the Juventus coach and also of the management, but he is not the only candidate. Among the candidates there is also AC Milan player Fikayo Tomori, Juventus’ next opponent in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup (scheduled for January 3 in Riyadh).
the first choice

Giuntoli’s goal is to score a double: a reinforcement as an investment and another on loan until the end of the season. One to be taken immediately and the other by the end of January. At the top of the list is Hancko, a left-handed all-rounder who can play both in the center and in the left lane. The major maneuvers have already begun but the negotiation does not appear to be simple despite the player’s yes. In fact, Hancko has already given his approval to bring forward the transfer to Turin in January: Juventus had planned to sign him in the summer, but injuries forced them to review their plans. The problem will be to convince Feyenoord, because for the Dutch Hancko is the starter and they want 30 million to let him leave. It means that to purchase him the Bianconeri must first raise money.
Tomori on loan

For this reason, various plan Bs are also being evaluated, including Milan Skriniar, former Inter PSG centre-back (who could leave on loan) and Antonio Silva of Benfica, managed by Jorge Mendes, the same agent as Conceiçao. They also like Tomori, who ended up on the fringes with Fonseca (2 minutes played in the league in the last 5 days), who Milan values at 20-30 million. Giuntoli aims to take him on loan to make another deal at Kalulu, but the Rossoneri don’t seem willing to open up, at least for the moment.
