Transfer window is nearing it’s end, and Juventus haven’t found their new striker yet. After not singing Alvaro Morata, who came back to Atletico Madrid, the ‘Old Lady’ is desperately trying to find a proper striker, who will either partner Dušan Vlahović, or will seriously compete with him for the number 9 role, since Moise Kean and Kaio Jorge are not those players for sure. Few days ago, even the hardcore transfer guru’s claimed that Memphis Depay to Juve is a done deal, but the pursuit have stalled since so the Italian giant has to look for alternatives, and Arkadiusz Milik is one.❗Juventus have blown away after hearing Depay’s salary demands. [@Gerardromero] #juvelive— Forza Juventus (@ForzaJuveEN) August 20, 2022 The Depay deal is not dead yet, and the stumbling block are player’s demands. It’s not easy to enjoy Barcelona’s big wages and then suddenly sign for another team and earn significantly less, but that’s the reality for all Barca’s unwanted players. The Netherland’s forward is looking for bigger wages and is hoping that some other club will come for him near the end of the transfer window, but Juve doesn’t want to wait that long. So, the Polish striker is the logical option.Olympique Marseille deny rumours of CR7 contacts ahead of the Nantes tieJuventus contacted Marseille and nothing is over yet, but the clubs are in contact, which is a sign that the deal could be struck, and the French club didn’t refuse to negotiate, meaning that coach Igor Tudor doesn’t see Milik as a necessary player in his squad. There are two reasons why Juve executives feel positive about this deal. Marseille wins at home thanks to Pallois’ own goalThe first one is that Milik is willing to leave Marseille only if an interested club is playing in the Champions League (like Juventus for example) and the second one is that he wants to go to a league in which he already played. Being former Napoli striker, Milik’s two conditions are exactly what Juventus needs. The Polish striker doesn’t want to go to a new league and face acclimatization in the eve of the World Cup. He wants to play regularly, which means he either stays in Marseille or leaves for Juventus (no other Italian club is calling him). Milik joined Marseille in January 2021 from Napoli on a €4m loan deal with a €8m buy option attached. He’s scored 30 goals in 55 games for the club.##NAJAVA_MECA_6580638##
