Juventus are looking for a forward
Juventus Turin have started an active campaign to find a forward. Among the candidates are Arkadiusz Milik and Memphis Depay.
Juventus do not look very confident this season compared to previous years. This is not surprising, since after the long management of Massimiliano Allegri, experienced Maurizio Sarri came. Now the main team is led by a newcomer in the coaching department, Andrea Pirlo.
Often in the matches of this season, the Old Signora did not score points due to problems with a competent build-up from defense to attack. Cristiano Ronaldo is still leading the team, but Alvaro Morata was invited to the edge. Although the Spaniard played at Juve before, the introduction of the VAR affected his performance, and he often got into an offside position.
But now the situation with goals from the Zebras has stabilized. The Turinians have scored 11 goals in the last four matches in all tournaments, while scoring three goals to Barcelona in the Champions League. But apparently the club's management wants to expand the bench and add variability to the attack. Andrea Pirlo talked about looking for a forward back in the summer, but then there were no acquisitions other than Morata. It looks like this question will be relevant again in January.
Among the options for the current champion of Italy are Memphis Depay and Arkadiusz Milik. The Pole has been playing for Napoli for a long time, knows the league well, but has not had playing practice since August this year. Therefore, it will not be difficult to get him, even despite the competition with the Neapolitans.
The situation is more complicated with Depay. Although the Dutchman's contract expires in 2021, Lyon hopes to earn at least 5 million euros for him. But another player is entering the market after the forward - Barcelona. Although the club has financial difficulties, it is not a problem to find 5 million for the giant. Another question is about the player's salary and for this they will have to clean the ranks.
In any case, We see no serious need for Juventus in the forward. Except that this question is about variability, because both Milik and Depay can play on the wing or under the attacker. In this sense, Depay is much preferable, because in theory he can replace Paulo Dybala, after whom a queue is already lining up until he signs a new contract.
