Juventus is on the trail of Ricardo #Pepi of PSV. The American striker is a classic number nine, who could be an ideal deputy to Vlahovic. He is valued at €15m by the Dutch club.

Pepi was bought for 11M by PSV. He scored and gave assists quite often when he finally was subbed on. He almost never plays more than a couple of minutes. Would be surprised if he even played more than a couple of full matched when you sum all his played minutes at PSV

He also flopped in bundesliga. Kinda sad if he flops in Eredivisie of all leagues.

I don’t want any of these strikers before seeing what Anghele has to offer in a bigger sample. Di Natale reported today that bigger clubs like Atletico and Man U were after him but the club has made him non transferable and are looking to extend him. That’s noteworthy to me because he’s already under contract until ‘28. He profiles well under Motta on paper, just gotta see if it actually transfers on the field.

Not for winter mercato but next summer, curious, even if half won't be possible due to superstar salaries/age profiles, that if Giunto won't go big game hunting in free agency market next summer. It's a stacked one:

De Bruyne, Salah and maybe VVD if no renewals, will likely join Neymar in Saudi payday.

Davies and Trent Arnold (if not staying put for him), will likely go to Real Madrid. Or PSG lol, either or.

Neuer will most likely renew and retire Bayern player.


Which leaves Giunto former player Anguissa, a realistic Tah, but most likely headed to Bayern. And finally marquee versatile big players in Kimmich and Son. Who knows what salary they will ask for, prolly high for us, but we cut our budget enough to afford a big one.

They generally harder to guess where they will end, outside random Barca or PSG destinations.

Juve is tracking Genoa defender Honest Ahanor. He’s only 16, but already in their first team. Sbravati ran their academy, so any Genoa prospect linked to Juve is noteworthy. Left footed, plays FB/CB.

Nah Nigerians have better genes than Cameroonians when it comes to 'age appearance'

Imagine getting Neuer on a free just to secure a 4th choice goalkeeper @Lion

KDB would melt in Saudi and wouldn’t exist anymore, so he shouldn’t do that. He should cum to JJ.

No to Son. He should go play for FC Bangalore.
