Despite the nasty spat two years ago during the Coppa Italia clash between Andrea Agnelli and Antonio Conte, a recent report claimed that the two men have mended their relationship.
The incident occurred when the coach was in charge of Inter. He was caught on camera pointing his middle finger at the Bianconeri’s top management, while the Juventus boss returned the insults.
However, the former Juventus captain and manager is repeatedly being linked with a return to Turin. His contract with Tottenham Hotspur expires at the end of the season and his future in North London remains up in the air.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via Calciomercato, Juventus will try to persuade Conte by signing two of his desired transfer targets.
The first would be Alessandro Bastoni, the young Italian defender who enjoyed a breakthrough under the tutelage of the current Spurs manager.
The second star is none other than Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. La Vieja has been on the trail of the Lazio midfielder for quite some time now.
Juve FC says
Despite what the source may suggest, this informed plan remains easier said than done, especially when it comes to signing Bastoni from the Bianconeri’s arch-rivals Inter.
The 23-year-old is under contract with the Nerazzurri until 2024, and one could imagine that the management would prefer to see him leave as a free agent rather than sell him to Juventus, regardless of the figure.
