With the end of the summer transfer market looming ever closer, Juventus will have to accelerate some of their pending operations.
The management has been reportedly monitoring Emil Holm for quite some time now. So will the Bianconeri manage to pull off the operation?
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus remain interested in Holm, but first, they may have to offload one between Matias Soulé and Samuel Iling-Junior to make room for a newcomer.
The 23-year-old is a Swedish right-back who produced a promising campaign at Spezia last season before sustaining a groin injury that kept him out of action for a considerable amount of time.
With the Aquilotti relegated to Serie B, the wingback has been a target for several clubs in Italy’s top tier. Atlanta were reportedly on his trail, but as the source explains, they haven’t been able to finalize the transfer, leaving an opening for the Old Lady.
Juve FC say
At the moment, Juventus have an abundance of options on the left flank, with Andrea Cambiaso currently occupying a starting berth ahead of Filip Kostic and Iling-Junior.
However, Timothy Weah remains the lone natural candidate on the right lane, especially with Mattia De Sciglio out with an injury.
Therefore, Holm would be a welcome addition to the squad, but it shouldn’t come at Iling’s expense, as we’re talking about a youngster who’s been displaying vast promise.
As for Soulé, his talent remains undisputed, but he seems to be lost in the shuffle nowadays.
He is not Juve material yet, don`t swap him for Iliing. would be a big mistake.
Holm was one of the best wingers last season. He’s ready for for any big club
Very very often when a player takes such a big step after only one decent season, it don`t go to well. Many a career burns out that way. Let him go somewhere he can play every week without so much pressure and develope. Fiorentina or Atalanta would be a good fit.
I hope we don’t offload Iling. Better we sacrifice Cambiaso or Kostić.
Cambiaso? Are you kidding me? The kid is a natural modern wingback and together with Illing, Juve’s left spot will be safe for 5 years. It’s Kostic that will leave as he’s nothing but an old winger with such predictable moves and tricks.
Cambiaso? You on dope man. Kostic I agree. Keep Iling.
