Exclusive: Juventus Coach Thiago Motta Dials Giovanni Di Lorenzo in Bid to Entice Transfer

According to Sportitalia, new Juventus coach Thiago Motta had a direct conversation with Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo last night. The player is reportedly eager to join the Bianconeri and has made it clear through his agent that he does not want to continue playing for Napoli due to some recent incidents that have deeply affected him. Despite efforts from President Aurelio De Laurentiis and coach Antonio Conte to change his mind, Di Lorenzo seems set on leaving Napoli.

Transfer expert Michele Criscitiello from Sportitalia revealed that the situation escalated when Thiago Motta personally contacted Di Lorenzo by phone. The player, who is currently with the Italy squad in Germany preparing for EURO 2024, has expressed his desire to postpone any discussions about his future until after the tournament. During a recent press conference, Di Lorenzo avoided confirming his commitment to Napoli, fueling speculation about a potential move to Juventus and only echoing the sentiments expressed by his agent.

It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, as Di Lorenzo’s future is uncertain amid growing interest from Juventus. Despite efforts to convince him to stay at Napoli, it appears that the player has his sights set on a new chapter with the Bianconeri. The upcoming EURO 2024 tournament will likely play a significant role in determining his next move, as he focuses on his current responsibilities with the Italian national team.
