Juventus Targets Hancko Amidst Defensive Crisis

Italian powerhouse Juventus is reportedly on the ‍verge of signing ⁤Slovakian defender Dávid Hancko from Feyenoord, according to reports from Tuttosport. ‌The move⁢ comes as Juventus grapples with meaningful injuries to key defenders Gleison⁣ Bremer and Juan Cuadrado, leaving a gaping hole in thier backline.

Hancko, a versatile player capable of filling both central defender⁢ and left-back roles, is seen as a crucial addition⁤ to⁢ bolster the team’s depleted defense. The reported deal⁣ includes a long-term ⁢contract, extending until⁤ the summer of 2029, with a reported annual salary of €2.5 million plus potential bonuses.

The Tuttosport ⁢report also suggests that Juventus manager Thiago Motta is particularly keen on Hancko due to his ⁢positional flexibility. ⁢‍ “Thiago Motta (Juventus coach, ‍ed.) really likes Hancko because of his flexibility,” the report states. This adaptability⁣ makes him a valuable asset in a squad facing defensive challenges.

Juventus’s interest in Hancko became ⁣evident weeks ‍ago when sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli was ⁣spotted scouting​ Hancko during Feyenoord’s match against⁣ Manchester City. The⁢ upcoming Feyenoord match against PSV eindhoven ⁣is considered a pivotal moment in the negotiations.A Feyenoord loss‌ could considerably impact the transfer, potentially making them⁣ more willing to ‌accept an offer.”If the Rotterdam team⁣ loses, the title is out of sight. That would make Feyenoord more likely to give the green light to a ⁣good offer,” one source noted. The reported asking price for Hancko is €35 million.

Adding further weight to the transfer rumors, ESPN reporter Sinclair Bischop reported that Feyenoord is prepared‌ to cooperate if ‌a suitable offer arrives. ⁢ Bischop ⁤stated, “That if a club comes, Feyenoord will want to cooperate. Also as he wants to take that step himself. So Feyenoord will think along if the​ right amount is put on the table. If ‌Juventus⁤ comes during the winter break, he will have left.”

Hancko joined Feyenoord from Sparta Prague in the summer ⁣of 2022 for ​a reported €8 million transfer fee. His ‍current contract with ‍the Dutch club‍ runs until the summer ‌of 2028.

The potential​ acquisition ‍of Hancko represents‍ a significant move ⁤for Juventus as they aim to regain their ‍competitive edge in Serie A. The outcome of the Feyenoord-PSV match and the final negotiations will determine whether Hancko will indeed join the ⁣ranks of the Old Lady.
