Juventus and Napoli will collide on Friday in the first match of Round 15, and the competition between the two rivals will expand beyond the pitch afterward. The Bianconeri successfully lured Cristiano Giuntoli last summer, and they don’t want to stop there, TuttoSport informs.
The Old Lady is in talks with the CEO’s former right-hand man Giuseppe Pompilio. He’s on an expiring deal and likely to reunite with his mentor. They also want Maurizio Micheli, the head scout often touted as the true mastermind of the Partenopei’s transfer market.
Juventus and Napoli are set to tussle for Lazar Samardzic. The Serb is ready to join a big team, and both sides are very keen.
In addition, the Bianconeri are attentively monitoring what’s going on between the Scudetto holders and Piotr Zielinski. The Azzurri continue to be confident about his permanence, but it doesn’t look like he’ll sign a new contract anytime soon despite the June 30th expiration date.
Our Take on Juventus and Napoli
Giuntoli joined solo and is poised to bring in some of his former collaborators, which is only natural. Getting him released from his contract was already a feat. The Partenopei went with a patch but will have to truly rebuild their front office this time. Zielinski would be terrific to replace Paul Pogba, but they might not be so inclined to invest in a 30-year-old. He wouldn’t come cheap even though it’d be a Bosman move.
