Juventus have given up on signing Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo and they’re reportedly ready to turn their attention to Spezia winger Daniele Verde. 

The Bianconeri are still working to strengthen their attack a little ahead of the upcoming campaign, keen to give Massimiliano Allegri a little more creativity to work with. Juventus were keen to make a move for Zaniolo earlier this summer but it quickly became apparent that a deal wouldn’t come cheap.

As reported by TMW, Juventus are now considering alternatives to Zaniolo and the latest of these is the 26-year-old Verde, who is contracted to Spezia until 2025. The adaptable Italian forward scored eight goals and provided six assists last season for the Ligurian side.

Verde has an estimated market value of around €5-10m, making him significantly cheaper than another player appreciated by the Bianconeri, Sassuolo’s Domenico Berardi. Time is running out for Juventus if they want to secure a new forward before the start of the upcoming campaign, so updates are expected next week.

16 thought on “Juventus turn to Verde as alternative to Zaniolo”
  1. Who is Verde ?!
    Seriously
    I’m out
    They said no to Pulisic + 40m and De Ligt swap to buy Verde ?!
    WTH. They could have get Pulisic and Bremer
    now Verde ?
    I don’t know him. is he any good ?

  2. Lord Allegri patron saint of slow ball, what team do you support, and were you always a horrible prick

  3. He will be a late bloomer like Luca Toni. He was one of the best right-winger in Serie A last season. A great move for Juve👍.

  4. “Great”!! Another mediocre player like Bernardeschi, Ramsey or Kean.

    Moussa Diaby! Moussa Diaby! Moussa Diaby! MoussaDiaby! Moussa Diaby!

    Zaniolo will be great as an attacking midfielder instead of a winger.

  5. Brian

    he’s a good player. Very dynamic and strong. Leader of Spezia that just joined Serie A and was able to secure a place in the elite. In my opinion, he’s worth a minimum 25M.

  6. Good choice. Have some Italian blood on the team
    He a good player. Forget about the war below average
    Foreigners
    Juve needs Italian blood
    Remember the days when most players were Italians
    How many trophies did they win
    A lot more then they do now
    If your not Italian you won’t understand. Forza Italia

  8. If Juve can get Kostic, Verde and Udogie than I would consider this transfer window as 9/10. Due to bad business on loosing Dybala for nothing and some regrets about loosing Molina to Atletico

  9. @Tony…

    Right on, brother!

    Absolutely correct!

    @Ros…

    Spot on about trying to get Udogie and Verde.

    I’m neutral about the other lost players.

  10. Well he has double as many goals as Zaniolo last season in sere A AND he is equipped with two healthy knees.
    I bet Zaniolo will retire from football within 3 years, those knees are allready broken!

  11. Verde is very good and skillful player..good attacking Option for juve..zaniolo is just NAME..give Verde the opportunity he will prove fans wrong
