Juventus are reportedly considering a swoop for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Weigl but face stiff competition.

CalcioNews24 cites reports in the foreign Press, which state Juve are “ready to launch an assault” for Weigl.

However, the same reports suggest Barcelona and Manchester City are also interested in the 22-year-old, while Real Madrid were linked with him at the start of the year.

Furthermore, Dortmund would not be prepared to sell him for any less than €50m.

Weigl joined BVB in 2015 from 1860 Munich and slotted straight into the void left by Ilkay Gundogan, representing Germany at Euro 2016 barely 12 months later.

CalcioNews24 describes the starlet as having “great feet” and the potential “to become an important player for any team.”
:lol: absolutely zero chance for Juve to get Weigl.

what about Bayern
Bayern no chance too. We had our chance when Weigl was a teen before he went to 1860 München and our scouts recommended him to our chief of the youth TARNAT :sergio: His opinion was, that the player is not athletic enough..what a tool.

That happens, when a senile board employs amatuers with Bayern history..incompetent idiots. Now its almost impossible for the future and total impossible next summer.

What do u mean with 50m€? Is that the amount u think will be enough to get him?
No, it's the amount that it think is already too much for him. I wouldn't want him anyway though since i don't think he has what it takes to become a pillar at a club like Juve. Still a good player though.

so no one has a chance to get him? come on dude, he's a Dortmund player.
This. Wait til his contract runs out and sign him for free.

Dortmund wont even consider negotiating. Every case is unique and Dortmund have refused to sell countless of times. Dembele has been the 1st player they sold with more than 1 year of contract and only a sum of 150m€ was enough for them. Dembele is no Weigl though totally different personalities. Weigl wont force anything and has just extended his contract not long time ago.

So yeah..nobody ll get Weigl next summer.

To be precise..Weigl staying at Dortmund is one of my summer bets for sure. Wont get me close to what James got me, but at least double, maybe even x3 or x4.

A disgusting behaviour a la Dembele can always be successful, but these two cases r totally different. Dortmund made some promises to Dembele when they signed him due to the hefty competition from Bayern, Barca & Co and they were aware, that he wont stay there for many years and he already expressed his wish to move to his dream club Barca. They def did not plan to lose him directly after the 1st year, but it was clear that Dembele was there just for the short term.

If I imagining Weigl doing the same next year, then Dortmund would set an example on him for everybody to know, that this wont happen on a regular basis.

So even IF Weigl would be a total different personality, then he wont be successful with such a behaviour.

Next year its time to sell Aubameyang. :)

Got me..didnt read the report completely and didnt see the sum standing there. :D

Understand what u mean..u would expect more dominance from a player who would cost a bomb if on the market..shows u the desperate search for the next midfield general like Pirlo or Alonso..the market is tiny.

Wouldnt bet money on it. I wish him the best and hope he does well, but I could see him getting exposed. He was not consistent at Schalke and made many mistakes, but Schalke have been chaos more often than not. Hard to say. I dont expect too much, but I hope my scepticism is unfounded.

He's been infected with chokingitis, Higuain infected him, sell before the whole world catches on.
:lol:

A couple terrible misses on those PKs for sure. And some underwhelming CL performances of late... but don't forget last years Barca tie. Definitely our crown jewel, and definitely better days ahead.

I trust him. He was right about Bonucci too in the end, even though it took a few years and Fresh changing his mind about him :p
:D

People gotta be allowed to change their minds. Life changes.

Fuck Bonucci.

I was going nuts on that barca game and was hoping he'd replicate it in the final but alas I hoped for to much and Paulo followed his big bro Gonzalard's footsteps and decided to ghost

He ghosted for sure. One of our least effective players. But Madrid had Juventus pinned down the entire second half; our midfield got absolutely demolished, and we had little going for us on the wings. No support/service whatsoever for the forwards.

Anyway, he's gotta pick his game up when it counts. But he's also 23, and one of the best young players in the world. Need a guy like that to build the team around -- and improve the club's marketability.

Higuain has been brutal for most of the season, but eventually he's going to put it together, and you're going to scream his name in ecstasy.

:D

I wish the absolute best for all our players heck I want Ruru to become WC RB:D
I was praying to see Higuain deal the killer blow vs his ex club on the biggest game of his career but oh well....i doubt we're good enough to make a deep run in the cl yet alone making to the final. Truth be told I'd rather get knocked out in semis then lose another final.

But if we do make to final and we win with a Higuain hattrick im naming my first born Gonzalo:D
