Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus' sporting director, spoke to Mediaset before the Supercoppa Italiana match between Juventus and Milan. Here are his statements:
A match that could lead to a potential final and change the mood...
"Maybe, it could be. We're frustrated by the many injuries, but we're starting to see some light."
Kenan Yildiz is on the bench...
"Perhaps the coach wants to manage his energy. It’s more of a tactical decision than a technical one."
Is there urgency to sign a central defender? Giuntoli replied:
"It’s urgent, but we know how tricky the January market can be. We’re waiting for the best and most suitable opportunity for us."
Fikayo Tomori starting today, does that change anything for you?
"I don’t know; you’d have to ask them. Certainly interesting, but there are others as well. We’re monitoring various options, and we need to wait for other clubs’ needs. It requires a bit of patience."
On Manchester United's striker Joshua Zirkzee, Giuntoli said:
"Honestly, we’ve never spoken with Manchester about him. They have situations to resolve, and I don’t know what could happen later. Juventus, in general, needs to stay observant. But for now, there’s nothing.
