After collecting just two points from their first four games, Juventus have done well to recover and are now fourth in Serie A, just four points behind third-placed Inter.
Massimiliano Allegri’s mentor Giovani Galeone has been watching the Italian club’s performances. He has singled out two players, one each from Barcelona and Chelsea, that they should invest in. While speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Galeone said:
Juventus have scored 47 goals in Serie A this season, the least amongst the top-10 teams in the division. So clearly, Allegri’s mentor is pointing out the need to create more chances in the final-third. Getting someone who gives them quality in the attacking areas is not wrong.
Galeone is also worried about the physicality and intensity with which the current crop of Juventus players play. He pointed out the difference by contrasting this team to the one that reached the Champions League Final under Allegri.
At this point, he talked about looking towards clubs abroad and suggested two players that are contracted to Chelsea and Barcelona right now.
Rudiger is known to be one of the most robust defenders in Europe and is also highly competitive and combative. His addition would surely make Juventus a tough team to score against.
The word going around suggests that the Old Lady are in conversation with the Chelsea player to sign him for free this summer.
Ousmane Dembele will also be a free-agent in the summer after the player and his team could not come to an agreement in January. The Barcelona winger has been criticized for his careless attitude on numerous occasions this season but has been sensational since the turn of the year.
He has put in a string of match-winning displays, contributing eight assists and one goal in his last six appearances for the Catalan club. Juventus would surely benefit from his presence.
Barcelona and Chelsea in action this week
Xavi’s team Barcelona have been playing some stellar football since the turn of the year. Their hard-earned momentum will surely come into use when they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League.
They won 2-1 against Turkish club Galatasaray on aggregate on foreign soil and are also unbeaten in 2022. Barcelona can surely dream of winning the UEL this year.
Chelsea will have their task cut out for them as they prepare to face La Liga table-toppers Real Madrid in a thrilling UCL quarter-final. Thomas Tuchel and his team’s character and personality will be tested as they look to bounce back from their embarrassing 4-1 defeat in the Premier League.
