Zuyuntas is determined to reshape its defensive system for the new season, and team leader Aliki has been making a lot of moves lately, contacting Senegalese defender Golibani, who joined Chelsea this season, with the intention of making a short-term loan request to the Blues and promising to cover 70 percent of the player's salary, which amounts to about 7 million euros (about 60.6 million Hong Kong dollars).
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, 31-year-old Golibani played for Napoli for eight seasons before moving to Chelsea for 33 million pounds (about HK$323 million) last summer. However, halfway through the season, Golibani's performance did not meet expectations, the team's poor record, his position has become precarious, which has become a good time for Juventus to make a move.
In fact, Juventus was interested in signing him 5 years ago, but was rejected by Golibani. He didn't want to join another Serie A team to avoid betraying the fans of Napoli. However, now in the "ice cave" of Chelsea, Golibani's psychological pressure has been greatly reduced.
Arrighi plans to overhaul the defense in the new season, intending to move Kirchenbirmer to the left and hoping to sign Golibani to solidify the middle of the defense. Given the club's financial situation, he intends to request a loan from Chelsea, and Golibani's annual salary at Chelsea is 10 million euros, of which Juventus is willing to bear 70%.
Juventus have contacted Golibani's agent and communicated with the player himself, and both sides are awaiting the outcome of further negotiations.
