For the director and the Juventus staff, three days around looking for new sustainable reinforcements
No Cups, but not for all of Juventus. Tonight the Champions League will start without Danilo and his teammates, disqualified for a season by UEFA, so the Juventus managers will “play” it. The director Cristiano Giuntoli, the director Giovanni Manna and the chief scout Matteo Tognozzi have some exploratory trips planned between today and Thursday on the pitches of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference. A way to verify in person some potential objectives for January – or June – and to deepen relationships and contacts in view of the negotiations. After closing the summer with only one real success – Timothy Weah, purchased for 10 million plus bonuses from Lille – at Continassa they are looking around for new sustainable reinforcements. Better if in midfield where, at the moment, there is no certainty about Paul Pogba’s future at Juventus, last week suspended as a precautionary measure by the Anti-Doping Tribunal following the positive test for testosterone found in the test on 20 August, after Udinese-Juventus (the counter-analyses on 5 October). Maybe the three European days will allow new ideas to blossom and expand the list of midfielders in the sights for the possible post-Polpo match.

Meanwhile, regardless of the notes of these three days, Juventus seems to be looking above all at the compatriots of Rabiot and Pogba. Manuel Kuadio Koné (Borussia Monchengladbach) and Habib Diarra will not be protagonists in the Cups like Juventus, but in recent months they have already been followed several times live – and promoted – by the Juventus men. Between the 22-year-old Koné, ready to return to the field after his summer ailments, and the 19-year-old Diarra, already tested in August, another transalpine midfielder appears on the Lady’s radar: 24-year-old Youssouf Fofana, whose contract is expiring with Munich in 2025.
