“I have already confirmed that with Juventus he aims to become one of the best players in the world. He wants to win many important trophies.
“Next week there should be a meeting between [Juve director of sport Alessio] Secco and [his Werder Bremen counterpart] Allofs.
“We have already made our choice, now it’s up to the clubs to reach an agreement.”
If those quotes are true, surely we have him in the bag now. Unless his father has a history of playing such cruel games when scoping around for the highest bidder for both his services and his sons. That is possible I suppose, but if true, this is tremendous news for the club. By far the biggest signing we have made since...Nedved. And this lad is young. With staggering potential...From what I have seen, he could become of the greatest players in the world, and if he does that whilst wearing a Juve shirt, I will be extremely happy.
