5 Possible Destinations for Leon Goretzka

#4 Juventus

Allegri and co. could do with a midfield revamp

It's fair to say that of the big five leagues in Europe, Serie A has been the most enthralling this season and that's partly down to the minor slump of Allegri's Juventus. The Old Lady currently sit third in the division, four points adrift of top-of-the-table Napoli.

Eyebrows would be raised at the suggestion that Juventus need reinforcements in their midfield, but it seems the Serie A champions are eyeing moves for both Leon Goretzka and his German counterpart Emre Can next summer, when both will likely be out of contract, if not snapped up in January beforehand.

Allegri already has the likes of Marchisio, Matuidi, Pjanic, Khedira and Bentacur to call on in midfield, so why the sudden need to bring in new middle-men? Well, Claudio Marchisio has been sidelined for much of the season so far with a knee-injury and, at nearly 32-years-old, is unlikely to recapture his best form again. Matuidi (30) and Khedira (30) are also getting on and, despite some good performances in front of goal from the latter, they are both flagging somewhat in terms of their formerly unprecedented physical attributes.

Goretzka would likely reinvigorate the Juventus midfield with an urgency to press forward coupled with a good defensive knowledge and, partnered with a similar-minded Miralem Pjanic, the German could be very dangerous in Serie A indeed.
