The move has been given the here we go signal by Fabrizio Romano, which means it is only a matter of time before it is made official. Motta’s style of football has been highly appreciated, considering how direct and attack-minded it is.
For Juventus, it would mark a significant change considering Allegri’s tactics were frequently described as conservative and defensive, failing to get the best out of attackers like Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic.
The hope now is that Thiago Motta will be able to turn things around at Juventus to help them return to top spot not only in Serie A but also in Europe, where they have been lacking for the last few years.
