Juventus looking to replace Michele Di Gregorio in a swap deal
It seems that there has been two versions of Juventus this season, a good and the bad. The good revolutionised by Luciano Spalletti, is a strong defensive unit, lead by Gleison Bremer. Meanwhile the attack looks unstoppable when they’re in a good phase, with Kenan Yildiz sparking life into Weston Mckennie and summer signing Jonathan David.
However, there seems to still be a bad version of Juventus, one who struggles to score. The Bianconeri has underperformed their expected goals in their last two games. This has lead to Juventus dropping points to Lazio at home on Sunday, and being knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Atalanta on Thursday. Juventus struggle to score, goals can often lead to defensive lapses as a team, leading to the opposition scoring easy goals.
They are now searching for answers in Turin to solve these problems. Many fans would rush to blame left back Andrea Cambiaso whose form has slumped all season. However, inside Turin they believe that there is a different problem, with goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio being the blame.

Di Gregorio signed for Juventus two seasons ago, as the club went under a lot of changes to build a team for Thiago Motta. Di Gregorio has had some incredible games for Juventus including his performances against Real Madrid in the Club World Cup and the Champions League. The upper staff at Juventus still don’t fully believe in him which is why they are aiming to replace him in the summer according to CalcioMercatoIT.
Juventus have set their sights on Atalanta, goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi who has been on some great form recently. He kept Juventus out in the cup despite the Bianconeri having 2.81 expected goals. He also had a clean sheet and a penalty save in the league before that when Atalanta visited Como in gameweek 23.

Juventus believe that they can get the deal completed as a swap transfer in the summer. However, even if the Bianconeri send Di Gregorio to Atalanta they will likely have to compensate them finically as well to complete the deal. A move for Juventus to sign Marco Carnessechi would become more possible if Atalanta miss the Champions League this season.

Juventus, mainly Luciano Spalletti already have a name in mind to replace Di Gregorio. According to TuttoSport, Spalletti wants to sign Alisson Becker from Liverpool. The two have already worked together before Alisson signed for Liverpool for Roma, which is why he is pushing for the deal.
It is one of the main reasons that Alisson is open to making a move for Juventus. He also wants to have one more chance as a top European club, before making a move somewhere else to slow down before retirement, This has lead him to agreeing on a three year deal with Juventus.
Alisson three year deal will be worth, 4.5 million euros per season which is a figure that Juventus can afford to pay. Meanwhile, this is not all that needs to be done to complete a deal. Juventus will also have to agree to terms with Liverpool, who are willing to let Alisson go for 15-20 million euros.

Romleu Lukaku future with Napoli uncertain as a move back to Milan looms
This season has been one of the worst for Romelu Lukaku in his professional career. He started this season picking up an injury in pre season, which would see him delay the start of his season’s by three months. Lukaku would miss an additional two month not returning for Napoli until they played Juventus in January.
His recovery would keep him coming off the bench, playing pinch minutes for most of the rest of the season. This would see Lukaku score only one goal this season against Hellas Verona, as he missed more time with continuous injuries would plague his recovery.

Lukaku’s latest injury came while on international duty with the Belgian national team last month. This sparked controversy as he didn’t return to Naples for recovery until almost three weeks after it happened. Napoli’s relationship with Lukaku was soured because of this as they wanted him back immediately for recovery.
When, Lukaku did finally return he ignored Antonio Conte only speaking to the club backroom staff. Conte and Lukaku have been know to be inseparable in the past with Conte signing him for Inter Milan and now Napoli. At the same time, Rasmus Hojlund has been an excellent fill in to Lukaku as he has scored 10 league goals in 29 games.

This could lead to Napoli looking to sell Lukaku this summer to get rid of the problem all together. Matteo Moretto is now reporting that Lukaku could look to make a move back to Milan this summer. This comes as he has enjoyed the lifestyle there in the past.
However, a move to Inter Milan is unlikely as they have their four strikers set. Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny is a solid core for Cristian Chivu. But, AC Milan do need a striker and Lukaku could be an option as Massimiliano Allegri wants a more conventional number nine.
