What did Mino Raiola do after meeting Joan Laporta?
The agent sat down with Pavel Nedved in an Italian trattoria to discuss Juventus
Juventus have lost their hegemony in Italy. After nine Serie A wins in a row, Inter Milan put an end to that last season with Antonio Conte at the wheel.
They sacked Andrea Pirlo and appointed Massimiliano Allegri to try and recover their domination.
Juventus won their Champions League group but in Serie A they are struggling with 28 points from seven games. Inter, leading, are 12 points ahead.
That’s why they wanted to meet with Mino Raiola in Turin. La Gazzetta published a photo of a meeting between Pavel Nedved, the Juve vice-president, and Raiola in an Italian trattoria. The relationship between them is long, given Nedved was represented by Raiola.
Juventus have three players at the club represent by Raiola, Matthijs de Ligt, Moise Kean and Luca Pellegrini.
The former of those could leave if Juve don’t get into the Champions League next season and there would be a big scrap for his services among Europe’s giants.
A return home for Paul Pogba might have been mentioned, as he’s out of contract at the end of the season in Manchester.
Plus, Riccardo Calafiori might be the answer to Juve’s goalscoring problems. The 19 year old at Roma has big potential but will be hard to move.
