During the World Championships, Alexander Sørloth was asked if he will travel to Turin or Madrid after the championships. The answer was “Madrid”. If it is up to the Juventus coach, this answer will be changed to Turin before the start of the season.
Before the World Cup, reports came that Juventus and Alexander Sørloth were heading for a transfer. Then there was silence from Turin. Changes in the club management are said to have been the reason why the brake was stepped on, reported Tuttosport. At the beginning of August, the Norwegian Viking is again linked to Juventus. On Friday, coach Spalletti goes out and talks about the big shortcoming in the Juve attack.
Although Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with Juventus in recent days,Tuttosport claimed this week that Spalletti’s first choice at the top is Sørloth.
Dusan Vlahovic has not been replaced, on Friday the Juventus coach tries not to seem stressed two weeks before the start of the season, but does not quite succeed.
“If you look at our squad, you can say that we are missing a pure striker, but it is not something we are worried about. The most important thing is not necessarily to have one player who scores 20 goals in a season. I am convinced that as a team we can reach that number of goals together,” the Juventus coach begins according to La Gazetta dello Sport.
-We will play both Sunday and Thursday, so it is an advantage to have more players who can contribute with goals. That way we can rotate without losing quality. We also have Ekhator, who can be a strong presence on the pitch, so we are quite calm,” Spalletti concludes.
Calm. Especially.
Is it just us, or indirectly, Spalletti is “screaming” to sign a striker like Alexander Sørloth at the top, a “box opener” in the opponents’ defense.
