The debate over Franck Kessié as a possible signing for Juventus continues, with various pundits expressing their opinions on the need to strengthen the team's midfield.
On the Tuttomercatoweb.com radio we talk about the transfer maneuvers at Juve. The name of Franck Kessiè pops up again, also followed by Atalanta. Here is the opinion of the commentators. Stefano Impallomeni: "He is one of the players to take, Juve must change the midfield. I see today's starters no longer in that role, but still in Juve. But not starters".
Daniele Garbo: "I like it. But I wonder: couldn't he play in place of Locatelli instead of Thuram? And I would make a Kessié-Thuram pairing."
Massimo Bonanni: "I liked him, the memory I have is important, as an important player. Last year his name came out for Juve too. He's a player I liked, he's a boy who belongs to a top team in Italy. He has quantity, quality, goals, he's someone who could be very useful."
Massimo Orlando: "Take him and Lobotka and it's already a stronger midfield. Solve some problems in midfield with them. Then there's still something missing, but in the meantime you take a playmaker who serves Spalletti's game, who he knows well and wants him at all costs. Allegri doesn't like playmakers very much, he could be a suitable solution."
Simone Braglia: "If Modric arrives, he can come back too. I would be for a different policy, based on young people. The problem is that some players are unapproachable. He went to Arabia, where the rhythms are different. And in any case the key piece is still missing, the goalkeeper".
Paolo De Paola: "It's a Juve with half a dozen players, there's only Yildiz with real talent. The others are enough, all gone. Cambiaso should take him to England immediately. Two real players like him and Lobotka change. Kelly without Bremer is nothing, Bremer has faded. I turn to the creative market of Carnevali, who at Sassuolo created expectations on unknowns who then became a crash. I hope he surprises us, he has the strength to impose unknown players. reformed a mentality and a team. We all need to change.
