Adeyemi advances, Champions striker needed. Juve: there is also an old track

Giuntoli, on the outside, is looking for profiles with experience in Europe: Danilo aside, the leader in terms of presence is Vlahovic with 7

The days pass, the list gets shorter. Cristiano Giuntoli , in these hours, is busy looking for the perfect fit to dress Todibo and Koopmeiners in black and white , but he doesn't lose sight of the page of the agenda on which the names of the attackers are written. A couple of weeks and it will be time for official commitments, after all: this is not the time to procrastinate. Up front, then, there is the recent defection of Soulé to compensate , who yesterday afternoon also said goodbye to Juventus on social media. To beef up the department, to increase its quality. And, perhaps, to raise the bar of the international experience of the team in the pipeline.

A shot for the Champions League

Thiago Motta 's plans include a rather young team, fresh in their muscles and ideas. But, with the exception of captain Danilo , they are also short of international appearances. A detail that, in the long run, risks turning into a gap. Especially when the stakes grow or there is a difficult moment to manage during the season. Alex Sandro and Rabiot have left on a free transfer, Szczesny will not even join his teammates waiting for a new destination: the senators are no longer there, the break with the past is clear. But the consequence is that few have heard the Champions League tune : Di Gregorio and Cambiaso, Douglas Luiz and Yildiz, for example, are still dry. And even those who have heard it have not had time to learn it: Bremer boasts 3 appearances and Thuram has 2, while the most present behind the leader Danilo is Vlahovic with... just 7. The scenario, moreover, would not change with the arrival of the shots in the barrel: Koopmeiners has played in the Champions League just 5 games, Todibo even 1. For this reason, then, Giuntoli is looking for a profile that has its habitat in the European cups and not an unknown context. A profile like that of Karim Adeyemi or Wenderson Galeno .

The Martial track is also open

The Juventus technical director has intensified discussions with their respective entourages in recent days, although without opening real negotiations with either Borussia Dortmund or Porto . The aim is to tempt the players by portraying the technical project in the launch pad, a strategy that - it seems - is bearing fruit. Then, of course, it will be necessary to deal with the clubs' requests for two players who are fully part of the company's plans, also in light of their recent performances. Adeyemi , at 22 years old, already boasts 29 appearances in the Champions League, embellished by 8 goals and, above all, by being a starter in the last final played by Borussia against Real Madrid. A goal that the yellow and blacks have also reached thanks to the goals of the same German winger against Milan and PSG in the group. And Galeno is also quite on the ball , when it comes to European impact in the goal area: the Brazilian with a community passport, in 15 appearances in the "cup with the big ears", has had a hand in 15 goals, with 8 goals and 7 assists. A record-breaking list, or almost. Numbers that, inevitably, tickle Giuntoli's ideas. Who, for the same reason, has not even put aside the path that leads to Anthony Martial , now released by Manchester United and willing to negotiate a salary lower than the 6 million he has received so far in the Premier. He does not lack international experience.
