Juventus of Turin is immersed in a reconstruction process that is lasting longer than expected, and it has already accumulated five seasons without lifting Serie A, something that a few years ago seemed inconceivable since it managed to chain up to 9 consecutive championships. in the era of Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegriin addition to two Champions League finals.
However, since Max, who now manages Milan, left, the decline has become deeper season by season until they have to fight to qualify for the Champions League. The economic situation has not helped in recent times either, facing an institutional crisis which took away Andrea Agnelli and other managers.
In this way, in northern Italy they are aware that they must go step by step and this time they have trusted Spalletti as a leader to whom they have given full powers, both on the field and to choose the players he wants, and the former Italy coach asked for an exchange of pieces with Arsenal for the winter market, giving Jonathan David and receiving Gabriel Jesús.
There is no exchange
However, as ‘TuttoJuve’ has reported, the operation has fallen in the last hours and the pieces will remain as they were. Luciano must work on getting the best out of the Canadian, who has not yet adapted to Italian football, and Arteta has made it clear that he wants to count on Gabriel Jesús as a catalyst from the bench to unblock clashes like the one against Wolverhampton.
Pressure for Yildiz
Besides, taking into account the absence due to injury of Dusan Vlahovicthis bad news does even more damage to the Vecchia Signora, because Spalletti is going to have to continue putting all the scoring load on Kenan Yildiz, who is acting as a number 9 in the last few games, but who at this stage of his career is clearly still a winger, and has a hard time positioning himself in the central part of the field.
Jonathan David, 25 years old, played 49 games for Lille last season in all competitions, exceeding 3,900 minutes of play, in which he scored 25 goals and provided 12 assists.
