Juve torn between Koulibaly and Milenkovic

In recent days, Juventus have been actively preparing for life without Matthijs de Ligt, who continues his career in either Chelsea or Bayern, and the real question is who will succeed the Dutch stopper. There are several ideas, and the first wish remains to be the Senegalese tower - Kalidou Koulibaly.

The sports sector of the Old Lady held talks with the agent of the Senegalese stopper Fali Ramadani in order to speed up a possible transfer from Naples. At the same meeting, the topic was not only Koulibaly, but Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic also. The reason is that the club from Naples is currently refusing any negotiations with Juventus and would not want to send the defender to the ranks of direct competition. They still remember at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium when Gonzalo Higuain committed a great sin and went on to wear the Bianconeri jersey, which was criticized by everyone in Napoli, and this happened only after the then champion of Italy activated the buyout clause of 90 million euros.

There are rumors in Italy that Juventus are now ready to spend as much as 30 million euros for Koulibaly's 'freedom', even though his contract with Napoli expires in less than a year. Napoli are not interested in negotiations, but the African champion would probably be, since he reportedly gets an annual salary of 6 million euros net.

If Koulibaly ultimately rejected the transfer, Juventus would focus on Milenkovic. The Serbian sweeper still does not know where he will continue his career; according to all the information so far from 'the Boot', he is far from staying in Fiorentina, although the club would not mind him extending his contract and staying, but there is great interest surrounding the player. From Inter Milan (which has not yet reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for Milan Skriniar) to Napoli (which again depends on whether Koulibaly wants to leave). In addition to Juventus, Barcelona and Chelsea are also interested in the strong stopper from Senegal. Some clubs from England were also talking about the Serb, even though Fiorentina rejected an offer from an unnamed island club...

In case a miracle happens and Juve take Koulibaly, Tottenham's big wish Piero Hincapié and Kim from Fenerbahce are also on the radar, in addition to Milenkovic. The Korean is also wanted by Rennes who are managed by Bruno Genesio, with whom he collaborated in Beijing.

Milenković is also in the last year of his contract with la Viola, who expect compensation of at least 15 million euros from potential buyers. In the end, it all comes back to De Ligt - his departure could start a whole avalanche of transfers, including the potential move for the Senegalese defender.
