Turin transfer market: an incomplete trocar according to Juric, the Praet idea teases

The coach made it clear that he still lacks a pawn: the most suggestive name is always that of the Belgian

Torino ends their second league match with a good draw against Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio, playing a good first hour but leaving some space in the second half for some biancoceleste forays. Overall, a positive game, but something is still missing to be able to be really competitive and Juric has identified the gap: “It takes another man on the trocar. I can use Vlasic, Miranchuk, but something is missing: last year I had Pobega who could do a bit of everything, the midfielder and the attacking midfielder. Not this year. We hope to be able to add a reinforcement in this area of ​​the pitch, that’s where the games are won. ” While as regards the role of first striker, Juric explains, “for now we trust Sanabria and Pellegri”.

MEN – Juric now numerically has four attacking midfielders. But we have to deal with the absence of Miranchuk – stopped due to a physical problem for at least a month – which takes away from the technician a precious weapon for someone like him, who often likes to change the pair of attacking midfielders during the match in progress. . Against Toro Sarri he was able to insert Pedro and Luis Alberto during the match in progress, Juric on the bench had Pellegri and Seck as the only offensive resources. This is one of the issues where the superiority of Lazio against Torino is highlighted at the moment. Certainly Seck is considered as an interesting talent but not as a player ready to make a difference, net of the failure to call for the first day at Monza. Here then is that the coach asks and will ask the club for one more effort in this transfer campaign to bring another attacking midfielder to Turin.

TALK – And when it comes to attacking midfielders, the most suggestive name for that area of ​​the pitch can only be Dennis Praet. The player, at Toro last year, is very much liked by the coach and is also appreciated by the club. At the moment Praet is not at the center of the Leicester project, having played only 27 minutes during these first three Premier League matches and therefore a departure of him cannot be ruled out. The last days of the market are beginning and, if it is true that the British company expects an outright purchase, the positions often end up softening compared to those dictated from the beginning of June onwards. The road that leads to a return of the Belgian is complicated, but never say never: it is difficult to imagine a substantial investment by the company for Praet, which was not redeemed at 15 million. But if the wills converge there is always room to find a squaring of the circle.
