Not just Aston Villa-Juventus. The Lady’s English trip was an opportunity for Cristiano Giuntoli for a transfer mission. Heading to Manchester, to talk to City and United and try to land two outgoing strikes: Nicolò Fagioli and Douglas Luiz. The Italian and the Brazilian are the two expendables for January and could allow Juventus to collect a substantial sum to reinvest in the purchase of a defender and a striker. Or two defenders, depending on how Milik responds.
the military factor

Thiago Motta has lost Bremer and Cabal (cruciate rupture) throughout the season, and has still never had the Polish striker available, forced to have meniscus surgery again after an unsuccessful summer operation. Milik should return by mid-late December, the Bianconeri will wait to understand if the deadlines will be respected before deciding whether to move for a deputy Vlahovic.

In the meantime, Giuntoli is looking around to understand what the market offers and sniff out opportunities to raise cash. For this reason, after being in Manchester on Sunday, he made a new blitz on Tuesday evening from Birmingham. From Fagioli, Juve expects to collect 20-25 million to be diverted to a defender (in addition to Skriniar they like Antonio Silva), as for Douglas Luiz (now injured) he hasn’t convinced so far but a satisfactory offer is needed (he was paid 50 million) or an exchange. Motta doesn’t mind United’s Zirkzee, his protégé at Bologna, but it’s a complicated track.
