Juve save money acquiring Vucinic to reinforce the defense
Is Mirko Vucinic the 'top player' Juventus were looking for? Probably not. He's a good striker and can work well in Antonio Conte's game, but he's not an international champion, the player Marotta was looking for at the beginning of the market. He won two Coppa Italia and one Super Coppa Italiana with Roma, but he did not impress in Europe (34 appearances and 11 goal between Champions League and Europa League).
Perhaps Juventus realised that the top player is required in the defense. Therefore, they saved money acquiring Vucinic to buy someone else to reinforce the defense.
Who will he be? Certainly not Piquè, Thiago Silva and Walter Samuel. Marotta tried Nemanja Vidic and Lucio unsuccessfully.
It is more likely that Juventus will try for Alex of Chelsea or Diego Lugano of Fenerbahce.
