Hectic week for Juventus. While Thiago Motta should be officially inducted as new coach this Wednesday, Piedmont management continues to move forward in the summer transfer window. Indeed, if no press release has yet been released, two players have already given their agreement to the Bianconeri and are expected in Turin in the coming days to complete their transfer before the traditional formalizations are announced on the club’s various networks. Indeed, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and midfielder Douglas Luiz will, apart from a huge twist, arrive in Piedmont.
But that’s not all because the Turin management led by Cristiano Giuntoli is in the process of completing its third summer recruit. While the files around Teun Koopmeiners and Riccardo Calafiori are progressing very well, this is another negotiation which is on the verge of being locked. Indeed, according to information from Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia, Juventus, which will return to the Champions League next season after a year of absence, is also considering strengthening its attack. After a full season on loan at Getafe in La Liga, Mason Greenwood is not expected to return to Manchester United for very long as the Old Lady has made great strides to beat the competition.
Mason Greenwood gave priority!
Adapted to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and perfect for the tactical philosophy of new coach Thiago Motta, Mason Greenwood has been a targeted element for several weeks. Indeed, Juventus is striving to provide the new Italian-Brazilian coach with the right profiles, including that of the 22-year-old striker, returning to Manchester United after a convincing season in Spain. In Getafe, the Briton scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in 36 official La Liga and Copa del Rey matches. Mason Greenwood has experienced a new renaissance in the suburbs of Madrid, becoming attractive again on the transfer market since in addition to Juventus, clubs like FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid or Borussia Dortmund were eyeing him for a time.
The Red Devils’ demand nevertheless remains very high since they have set a price of 50 million euros. An amount considered too expensive by Turin management. However, in recent hours, new contacts have taken place between Juventus and the player’s entourage, who gave priority to the Old Lady. The Bianconeri blocked the player with whom they reached a contractual agreement. The next objective will now be to reach an agreement with Manchester United in the coming weeks. The Italian club hopes to set negotiations on a fixed base of 30 million to which bonuses will have to be added. For this, Juventus will first have to make a big sale to replenish the coffers by completing the departure of Federico Chiesa or Matias Soulè, both of whom interest AS Roma among others.
