Prandelli: Juventus should sign ‘at least two’ Italy internationals including Calafiori
Former Italy national team head coach Cesare Prandelli believes that Juventus should sign ‘at least two’ of three Italy internationals currently playing in the Premier League during the next summer transfer window.
The ex-Italy and Fiorentina head coach spoke in-depth to La Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview published on Tuesday, discussing all things Juventus ahead of their Champions League play-off round second leg against Galatasaray coming up on Wednesday evening.
Prandelli recommends Juventus sign Calafiori
Among the topics of discussion with Prandelli was Juventus’s potential transfer targets for the next summer transfer window.
He believes that Juve should focus on bringing in a more Italian core, and believes that they should be targeting some of the biggest names that the Azzurri have to offer.
“At least two of Tonali, Donnarumma and Calafiori,” Prandelli told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
He believes that there is still business to do in-house before the summer transfer window arrives, though.
“After strengthening with Yildiz, I would immediately renew Spalletti, Vlahovic and McKennie if I were at the club. A way of saying: ‘there’s the base, we’ll come to the rest later’.”
One of those recommendations looks set to be completed in the near future, as reports from multiple outlets on Tuesday suggest that Weston McKennie is just a step away from putting pen to paper on a new and improved contract extension in Turin.
