Juventus have made a decisive move in the generational duel between Kenan Yildiz and Matias Soulé, with the Turkish youngster emerging as the victor. The recent unveiling of the club’s new jersey confirmed Juventus’ strategy regarding these two talented players, with Yildiz, born in 2005, taking center stage as the face and emblem of the new Juventus era. There’s even speculation that he might don the prestigious number 10 shirt.
Calciomercato detail how for Soulé the future lies elsewhere despite Thiago Motta’s curiosity to see him in action during the season’s initial training sessions. However, there’s no rush to offload him, as Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus’ sporting director, recognizes the valuable asset he holds.
Soulé’s stock has risen significantly following an impressive season on loan at Frosinone, where he tallied 11 goals in 39 appearances across Serie A and Coppa Italia. His performances have attracted interest both domestically and internationally.
Juventus is carefully considering offers for Soulé, taking into account the player’s preferences. Currently, two main options are on the table:
Roma’s Interest
Roma and their coach Daniele De Rossi have expressed strong interest in Soulé, even preferring him to Federico Chiesa due to his age and potential. However, Juventus is hesitant to strengthen a direct competitor and potentially block Chiesa’s exit route. The Bianconeri are asking for at least €35 million (potentially rising to €40 million with bonuses), a figure Roma considers excessive. The Giallorossi are exploring the possibility of including players in the deal, with Stephan El Shaarawy mentioned as a potential makeweight.
Leicester City’s Pursuit
Abroad, newly-promoted Premier League side Leicester City has shown the most concrete interest in Soulé. The Foxes are reportedly willing to meet Juventus’ asking price, but the player’s preference for Roma is currently a stumbling block.
As Soulé contemplates his options and waits for Roma to make a decisive move, Giuntoli remains patient. The interest from multiple clubs can only increase the player’s value. However, time is of the essence as Juventus needs to expedite their pursuit of Teun Koopmeiners.
