Juventus have yet to bag Cristiano Giuntoli, although they are very confident their chase will be successful, but have already started putting together the early plans for the summer. They could include a familiar face, as Dejan Kulusevki might head back after an 18-month loan at Tottenham.
According to Goal, the conditions to make his move permanent automatically are unlikely to be met. The Spurs have to qualify for the Champions League, and he has to appear for at least 60 minutes in half of their seasonal matches.
The London outfit could decide to buy the Swede out for €35M anyway. However, they have informed Juventus that they won’t do so, Corriere dello Sport informs. The Bianconeri would miss out on such sum, but they cashed in €10M for the temporary spell.
There’s a chance the Bianconeri keep Kulusevki on their squad for next season, as Giuntoli is a fan. In addition, the exec is high on Teun Koopmeiners. He would be a Napoli target if the exec wasn’t released. On the other hand, Atalanta will put up major resistance. They’ll ask for at least €35/40M to sell. He’s also on Liverpool’s radar.
Our Take on Juventus, Kulusevki, and Koopmeiners
It would be a logical turn of events for the attacker to return to Turin. After all, Fabio Paratici and Antonio Conte, who brought him there, are no longer at Tottenham. Instead, it’d be odd if he stayed put, as Massimiliano Allegri never gave him a fair shot in their six months together, and he doesn’t seem like his type of player. Instead, any team could use a midfielder like La Dea’s star, but they’d have to splurge to get him.
