Paris Saint-Germain could be prepared to swap Marco Verratti with Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic, should Max Allegri take over in the French capital.

It could set the path for a surprise return to Italy for the 27-year-old Azzurri star Verratti, who has yet to play in Serie A.

Multiple swap deals between Juve and Roma?

 

 

Jun 9, 2020

 

Juventus are, according to Tuttosport, prepared to offer Federico Bernardeschi and Daniele Rugani for Nicolò Zaniolo, but Roma want cash.

Cristian Romero, Bernardeschi, Rugani and Rolando Mandragora have been put on the plate by Juventus, who are looking at Bryan Cristante, Cengiz Under, Justin Kluivert and Zaniolo.

 

The latter remains at the top of the wish list and Juventus have tried to lure the young Italy international, currently working on his recovery after suffering an ACL rupture against the Old Lady in January.

 

Roma have, according to the newspaper, asked for €60m for Zaniolo, something that could slow down the operation for Juventus, who were hoping to convince the Giallorossi by offering two players. ....

Multiple sources claim Arthur Melo is opening up to a Juventus transfer, in exchange for cash plus Miralem Pjanic to Barcelona, but a deadline looms.

 

The deal arguably would’ve been done weeks ago had Arthur not dug his heels in and refused to leave Camp Nou.

Capello: 'Coman another Juventus mistake'

 

 

Aug 23, 2020

 

Fabio Capello accuses Juventus of ‘repeating the same mistakes’ with Kingsley Coman as Thierry Henry by selling too early.

 

 

“Coman is considered good enough to start in a Champions League Final for Bayern Munich,” Capello told Sky Sport Italia.

 

“Evidently, Juventus keep repeating the same mistakes. Henry arrived so young at Juventus, they let him go and then he flourished at Arsenal.

 

“Coman is following a similar path now in Munich. When you see quality, you must have the patience to wait. You cannot expect a young player to immediately be a protagonist at the highest level.” ....

Weston McKennie Set to Join Juventus

 

 

Aug 26, 2020

Christian Pulisic has proven his worth at Chelsea, and now a second young U.S. national team star may be on the verge of a move to one of soccer’s most successful and ambitious clubs.

 

Reports out of Europe on Wednesday have linked midfielder Weston McKennie—who was being shopped by Schalke 04 as the German club looks to shore up weakened finances—with a transfer to Italian giant Juventus. If the move happens it would put McKennie, who turns 22 on Friday, on the books of the nine-time defending Serie A champions and on the field alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala.

 

Despite its domestic dominance, Juventus is undergoing a makeover in its pursuit of a long-awaited third European title. It recently hired former midfield legend Andrea Pirlo, who ended his career in MLS at New York City FC, as head coach and has aimed to shed a few older players with higher salaries (French World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi, 33, already has signed with MLS’s Inter Miami). McKennie would bring range, versatility and vigor to the Juve midfield at a relatively affordable price.
