ROMANO EXCLUSIVE: Juventus' counteroffer for Pjaca!
Juventus haven’t let Milan’s wooing get to them: having followed Pjaca since he was 16, Giuseppe Marotta have made a counteroffer of their own. They’re also matching Dinamo’s price now.
Pjaca is now torn between starting for Milan or trying to win his place in Juventus’ star-studded side. Marotta and Paratici have pushed a lot and tried to sell their project to the youngster: he’d play in the Champions League, he’d have Max Allegri’s appreciation as he is tactically flexible… and he’s even swapped texts with Mario Mandzukic! Pjaca would find some space, with Juventus playing on three fronts. Oh, and the cherry on top: a contract until 2021 with a high salary.
This has thrown Pjaca in a crisis, as he’s reportedly in a bind.
Galliani’s answer is to be perennially in contact with Pjaca’s gent, reminding the midfieler that AC Milan are counting on him. He’s being offered a starting berth, Montella’s appreciation, a formation that can help him give his all, and the chance to star for a big club from the start.
Who will he choose? Only time will tell…
