DBasia.news – Juventus originally did not want to recruit Inter Milan striker, Mauro Icardi, as according to news from Calciomercato, the Bianconeri were more interested in Olympique Lyonnais striker, Moussa Dembele.
Previously, Juventus were reportedly monitoring Mauro Icardi’s situation at Inter Milan. Currently, the Argentine striker is not included in Antonio Conte’s plans.
However, Juventus do not have sufficient funds to bring in Icardi. On the other hand, Inter’s proposal to exchange Icardi for Paulo Dybala is also not lucrative for the Bianconeri.
As a result, Juventus turned their interest to Moussa Dembele. The French player was considered more suitable to accompany Cristiano Ronaldo on the front lines.
Juventus’ interest in Dembele is not a figment. As the Bianconeri have sent their talent guides to monitor Dembele’s actions.
Moussa Dembele has increasingly been appealing to Juventus when looking at the transfer market movement. As Juventus is currently focused on bringing in young players. For example, Luca Pellegrini, Merih Demiral, Cristian Romero, and Matthijs de Ligt.
If successful, Juventus can let Mario Mandzukic leave. Reportedly, the Croatian national team striker is in demand by Barcelona.
Moussa Dembele is one of the most promising talents in Ligue 1. In this season, the 23-year-old has already scored three goals from two matches. Transfermarkt estimates, Dembele’s worth is 27 million euros.
Juventus’ chance to bring in Moussa Dembele: 40 percent
Moussa Dembele is a logical choice for Juventus compared to Mauro Icardi. La Vecchia Signora certainly will not stop moving in the transfer market based on the statement of Pavel Nedved.
