In less than ten days, an intriguing second meeting transpired, as Bernardeschi’s agent met with Juventus’ executives at the Continassa. This rendezvous marks the second chapter following their summit last week., according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
A multitude of topics graced the discussion table, including the future of the former Juventus player, who currently play in Major League Soccer with Toronto. With the suspension of Pogba and Fagioli’s disqualification, Juventus faces a pressing need to reinforce the squad in January.
Giuntoli and Manna aspire to gift two new additions to Allegri. However, the upcoming winter transfer market appears frugal, with limited spending opportunities. Hence, Juventus must diligently explore potential prospects.
In the quest to fortify the midfield, Juventus is actively considering several options, including the likes of Samardzic and Hojbjerg. Amid these discussions, Federico Bernardeschi has emerged as a compelling alternative to the array of talents on the radar, such as Berardi and Sudakov.
Federico holds the potential to leave Toronto on loan until June, boasts an intimate understanding of Allegri’s tactics, the Juventus environment, and the Italian Serie A. His versatility is an asset, having played various roles under Allegri’s guidance, ranging from a wide attacker to an attacking midfielder, a central midfielder, and even as a forward in emergency situations.
Furthermore, Federico Bernardeschi’s desire to reunite with Juventus and return to Turin adds an extra layer of appeal to this potential acquisition. He still maintains a residence in Turin, providing a strong motivation to prove his worth and convince Spalletti in preparation for Euro 2024.
