He'd be a fantastic signing.

One good move. 15 more left.
These rumors will quickly die out once we get kicked out of CL spot race

I still don't think we should sign him. For some reason, I think he's the player version of Junktoli but beggars can't be choosers.

Very very unlikely ADL sells him to a rival club.

I think he fits in every league and it's a huge plus he's not a regular stagnate Italian striker.

And who would you like us to go after? Imo we don't even have many options, plus I think Osimhen would walk into majority of top clubs. I thought he'd go to Arsenal but I suppose they will go after Gyokeres.

Semi-realistic options:
David
Guirassy (pretty unlikely)
Hojlund
Darwin Nunez
Retegui
Lucca
Kalimuendo(?) (Very unlikely)

There aren't many emerging strikers in Europe or Serie A that are realistic options for us.

Maybe try to negotiate another loan for Kolo Muani, try to hijack the David deal and use the funds to improve our midfield as thats where we are lacking atm.

Victor Osimhen wants Juve, his priority is Juve! He's not interested in going to Saudi Arabia, Osimhen has Juve at the top of his list, his desire is to go to Juventus. The Bianconeri has received a 'YES' from the player. He considers Giuntoli a "football father"

Should Juve not qualify for next season's Champions League, it wouldn't be a problem for Osimhen because the will of the player is to join Juve and this is a deciding factor!

he sure they’re not gonna fire Giuntoli? Lol

The biggest problem we have is a lack of chance creation from the midfield. There's no point in signing Osimhen (or another expensive option) if he will receive little service.

I can't emphasise this enough - our midfield is absolutely atrocious.

Look at the best clubs in Europe and what do they have in common? A functional midfield.

Players who have nothing to play for on insane wages. Hard pass.
We need some experienced champions tho not necessarily KDB or Silva and we all thought the same about Pirlo back in the day..

Would've loved Van Dijk on a free transfer for example if he was still available


Junktoli hates signing experienced players it seems. Maybe the aura around these champions makes him look small and insecure idk but the team where it stands right now can benefit from signing 1-2 experienced champions as long as they're not costing too much money.

Miguel Gutiérrez is very close to leaving Girona to sign for Juventus. The 22-year-old left-back is close to joining the Bianconeri for around €35M. Real Madrid, which keeps 50% of his rights, has already authorized the transfer.

I have no idea who this dude is but €35m is a lot for a left back considering the amount of new players this team need. The left back is not really a priority IMO
