Juventus in the Hunt for More Bosman Acquisitions | OneFootball

The way the Jonathan David experiment is going won’t deter the relatively new Juventus hierarchy from chasing after more coveted free agents, and they are doing their homework early on Mike Maignan, Zeki Celik, and Serge Gnabry, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

The Bianconeri plan to be stingier concerning the agent’s commission, but giving in to those requests contributed to adding the Canadian talisman. The Milan goalie makes €3M annually, and even a significant raise would be well within the suitors’ standards.

Juventus aren’t in pole position for either Maignan or Celik, but they are trying. Chelsea, which almost acquired the former last summer, continue to be the frontrunners. The Premier League lure and the Blues’ fat wallet will be tough to beat, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Instead, Roma are confident they’ll be able to retain the Turkish international, even though they haven’t managed to reach an agreement to prolong his contract at this stage. Gian Piero Gasperini has leaned heavily on him so far, both as a center-back and on the wing, and he has responded with sound displays.

Instead, the Old Lady touched base with the entourage of Gnabry, but their pursuit will likely be short-lived. His demands are very high, and Liverpool are hot on his trail.

Our Take on Juventus Tracking Maignan and Celik

Since they continue to be very hit-or-miss on the transfer market, they should avoid hefty fees so that at least they don’t take a bath if their signings don’t pan out. Nabbing the Frenchman would be a proper coup. The Roma fullback is fine, but it’s time for them to address their right wing by purchasing a proper difference-maker.
