Cristiano Giuntoli, the Football Director of Juventus, recently shared insights regarding the club’s current situation and future plans during the Gran Galà del Calcio AIC event. Addressing various topics, Giuntoli discussed player performances, potential transfers, and the club’s objectives for the season.
Reflecting on the ongoing season, Giuntoli remarked, “This is a particular year for us. We have many absences, and we are relying on the qualities of our group. Our declared goal is to finish in the top four. We are aiming for a different style of play. Paradoxically, despite everything, we are content.”
On the upcoming January transfer window, Giuntoli expressed interest in Benfica’s Antonio Silva, stating, “Antonio Silva is an interesting player among others. In January, no one shows their cards; we need to be careful and vigilant.” This indicates that Juventus is actively considering bolstering their squad with new talent.
When asked about Danilo’s situation amid rumors linking him to Napoli, Giuntoli emphasized the defender’s importance to the team: “Right now, he is our captain, and we are keeping him close. Our defensive options are limited at the moment, and we have not spoken with him or Napoli. Our objective is to retain all our players and strengthen our defense.”
Regarding potential reinforcements in attack, Giuntoli mentioned Arkadiusz Milik: “We are confident in Milik’s return; we are waiting for him and believe in his capabilities.” This suggests that Juventus is looking to bolster their attacking options without necessarily seeking new signings.
Giuntoli concluded by expressing optimism about the team’s performance moving forward: “I am convinced that those who have not yet shown their value will do so in the second half of the season.”
