Galeno remains on Juventus’ agenda, with the Italian club preparing to make an offer to Porto.
Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the Brazilian winger is at the top of the list to strengthen the left flank.
Last season, the Turin team’s scouting department paid close attention to Porto. Left-back Wendell was considered, but Juventus opted for Juan Cabal (ex-Hellas Verona). Galeno’s fate may turn out differently, not least because he benefits from a Portuguese passport – Juventus currently has no more vacancies for non-EU players.
On the other hand, Italian directors believe that Galeno could be a cheaper alternative than Karim Adeyemi (Dortmund) and Jadon Sancho (Manchester United). Gazzetta claims that Juve only wants to pay between 30 and 40 million euros, taking advantage of the fact that Porto is under pressure from financial fair play to lower the release clause (60 million euros) of a player who is 26 years old and has already been called up to the Brazilian national team.
Porto SAD knows that CMis determined to keep arm wrestling on the market for as long as possible. The challenge is to combat the idea that Invicta will sell out.
This approach will be the rule in negotiations with those interested in Francisco Conceicao or Diogo Costa, the most coveted players. However, there will come a time when SAD will have to sell in order to balance its accounts.
Carmo thanks his ‘second family’
“I am grateful for the way they welcomed me,” said David Carmo yesterday after the morning training session. At the end of the day, after the game against Austria Vienna, the central defender said the victory “was the perfect gift” on the day he turned 25. The defender praised the “different ideas” of Vitor Bruno, the coach “whose idea is not to look at the result, but at the processes.” “It creates a good group spirit.”
