Juventus, Giuntoli in search of a central defender

“At this moment, we are looking around, we know that the winter transfer market is very particular, things change constantly. We are keeping an eye on things, monitoring some situations, there is no one ahead of the others. We are still far from the market, it is premature to mention names. Whoever arrives must be ready to question themselves and be available, these are key values to be part of an important team like Juventus.”

Cristiano Giuntoli then spoke about the team’s current situation and Thiago Motta’s work: “We are very pleased with the coach’s work and the team up to this point. As I have already said, this is a transition year, we started from zero, changed our way of thinking and rejuvenated the squad, now we are one of the youngest teams in Europe. We think game by game, convinced that hard work will reward us and take us as high as possible.”

Locatelli and Savona in the national team

“Locatelli is an extraordinary guy, with technical skills and great intelligence, Motta can enhance his characteristics, these are the results, we are very pleased and proud that Manuel has returned to the squad. Savona has technical, physical, and moral qualities, the credit is his. He is a shining example of the Juventus world, his growth has been fast but it did not surprise us because we expected it. We believed in Yildiz, but he is a 2005 class, we have to wait for the right time, patience is needed.”
