Tchouaméni won’t sign for Juve. Chances near 0%. Witsel still the most likely to be signed also Zakaria among the frontrunner but other clubs are also interested. (Lucabianchi7)

Allegri has some doubts on Zakaria. The Swiss midfielder cannot be questioned on his intervention, his intensity and technical intelligence, but he doesn't have a proper way to handle the ball with his feet. Something that worries the bianconero coach who prefers to sign Witsel.

Although it is possible this is true because we were linked with Witsel before and Allegri wanted a more technically gifted midfielder for years, I am really skeptical of very specific reports like this that claim to know someone's inner circle thoughts, and coming from a random JuventusNews24 account no less

Zakaria could work in a double pivot but it’s pretty obvious Allegri wants Witsel or another holding type. It would free Loca up to play the Pogba role. I totally believe that Witsel is an Allegri request while management is hesitant because of his age. Best move would be Rovella, he’s ready and fills the need.

Witsel is a big no we can't keep on committing the same mistakes again I agree with assessment that Zakaria has clumsy ball control either it is Rovella/Kamara or wait for Tchouameni

This is code for:

Zakaria: Age 24

Witsel: Age 32

I dont remember seeing Zakaria but Witsel is definitely not what we need. Witsel is like getting another Ramsey for me. Its a "coup" but then you realize how much he is available and what he provides and it doesnt really worth it.
I rather we save the money and look amateurish if we are not serious.

Overall we need:
GK - Unsure about Woj but we can wait
LB - A.Sandro isnt it anymore - There are priorities before getting a LB though
CB - Overall it seems Chiellini is reliable while MDL is good and Bonucci has ons and offs. We need a top CB but I guess that could wait as well
CM - One who can defend well and also provide some link up in midfield
CM - One who can really make a noise assists and goals. Pogba on a free transfer would definitely be a big coup.
LW - Do we even have one? We are using Rabiot as LW and at times we either play Bernardeschi or place Chiesa there - Non are actually a LW...
CF - Dybala is injured a lot and has ons and offs plus he isnt the traditional CF to say the least.. aside for him we have Morata who has some clutch in him I guess but isnt a lethal player. Then we have Moise Kean who can score but isnt that great aside for his finishing.

Obviously our priorities should first be midfield and CF but we will have to address the others later.

So Pogba on a free and one midfielder who can defend well but not suck when attacking would fill our mid and make it a top level midfield.
Attack - We need Vlahovic and we need him now and not in June. We should definitely try to sort out a deal with Fiorentina.
I know we all want Haaland and it seems the board will make an offer but lets be real - we are probably his 5th option or so...
Also we really need it now.

So January should be Vlahovic and if possible the other type of midfielder I was mentioning and in the summer Pogba and look for an opportunity on the left wing.

What #Zakaria wants: Barcelona as the team of his dreams.
What Gladbach want. Director of Sport Max Eberl to @gladbachlive: “He wants a big contract with a big club. A transfer in January? I am not ruling that out”.
⚪️⚫️#Juve is in the race.

    Witsel was so serious about his career he went to play for Tianjin Dragons in the tough China league to earn 15M a year. :lol:

    Going to be 33 in a few weeks, earns over 6M a year at Dortmund, 0 goals 0 assists in the Bundesliga this year, lowest performing player on the squad with 5 or more appearances next to Dahoud according to this stat page (https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/44/Show/Germany-Borussia-Dortmund), et cetera.

    A perfect player profile fit for the current Juventus. :lol:
