Keita Baldé Diao

[panoma]

But.. that's what Juve want him to do?

They rather have him on the cheap now than free next summer I would think. Lot can happen in a year, especially if he's frozen out of Lazios team. Will Juve even want a player that might not have played football for 10 months or will they move for someone else?

Lazio could tell him to sign for someone else or get stuck in reserves for a year to show Juve they won't get bullied. If it was us getting bullied like that I'd sure hope Levy would do the same considering 15m is not much in todays market. Especially when others offer 35m.

Not in lazio squad tonight again so surely leaving to Juve or Milan

Full aticle with quotes from Sky for the comments a page back. I'm guessing we were asking to be kept informed and then told by agent it was only Juventus he wanted...

So according to their president we didn't even make a formal bid...

 

[THOWIG]

We won't get him, but he is exactly what we need.

seems like he has his heart set on Juve and no-one else.

Like how Ross (hopefully) only wants us.

Didn't JJ say we were very close to sign him? So after all, we didn't even make a formal bid and the player didn't want to join us?

Perhaps verbal agreement between clubs but the player rejects us

82% I believe. For 82% I was expecting a formal bid to have been accepted and the player saying he was keen to join. The other 18% was to agree personal terms

No bid is 88%. 90% is initial rejection with a winky face. 95% is stories of another team outbidding us.

Look it is a really complicated % system that I am sure JJ would love to spend hours breaking down for us.

We don't ever make an official bid until Levy and the selling club have verbally agreed on a price.

... then we bid 5m less ;-)

Surely Hercules's info is talking about keita. He's a player whos club want him to go to us(because we are willing to pay the money they want) but he's waiting on his first choice(juve)

Doesn't look like this is definatly over yet

Right. And as there are two forwards, could also Martial fit? ManUtd would want him to go to us (to have their pick from our squad), he would want to go either back to France or to a more prestigious club?

 

[Jamturk]

I worry about this if it went through, he seems a pretty difficult chap at the best of times. So to semi force him our way spells trouble.

Pinch of salt, but Juve back in for Schick according Di Marzio.

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/schick-from-roma-inter-and-juventus-to-now-psg-the-situation

Weird if true, but doubtful they move for Diao if they get Schick.

CB is also surely a bigger priority for them than 4/5th choice AM.

This is getting silly- I've just screenshot his inform FIFA card.

General manager Giuseppe Marotta insists Juventus won’t sign Keita Balde or Patrik Schick this summer.

Lazio forward Keita is absent from training as he tries to force through a move to the Bianconeri, who have maintained that they dropped their interest after a bid was rejected.

Schick, meanwhile, was all-set to join from Sampdoria before he failed a medical, but there have been rumours Juve could come back in for him.

“Keita is a closed topic, just as Schick is a closed topic,” Marotta shrugged, speaking to reporters after Blaise Matuidi’s presentation.
