Di Marzio are saying Monaco are looking at him as a potential Mbappe replacement, so his move to Juve presumably isn't done yet. Could still be hope for us.

Maybe it looked dead because an offer from Juve was accepted when it hadn't been previously but the player has since asked for assurances around playing time and that can be given?

Pure specuation on my part but hey, what else is there to do on this one at this point? Fact is they have a butt load of attacking players so he won't be starting every week, it's just not gonna happen. Maybe that's made him have pause for thought.

Call me an optimistic bastard but there must be a reason he hasn't signed for juve yet as they don't fuck about like us

I don't think this is dead just yet

I think he is just going to see out the last year of his contract at Lazio and join Juve next summer as they don't want to pay the fee now

That's my take on it too. Until he actually signs for someone else, there's always a chance the transfer could happen. Unless...

That is the concern.

I don't imagine we'd here much in the way of ITK if there was any chance of this happening again, so It'd be a nice surprise if things have now changed in our favour.

In terms of who can offer more game time, if we had signed him (I know it looks unlikely now) I wonder if we'd have let Jansen go and cover Kane between balde and son.

It is. This is dead. There has been no indication its revived. No reason this thread is still going.

There doesn't need to be an indication.

According to football italia(dunno if it's reliable) they still haven't agreed a fee, so if it stays that way we know that we're interested and if keita doesn't want to wait for juve for a year he may decide to come

A very plausible chain of events imo, but obviously it's more likely juve just stump up the money and he goes:(

Still hold hope, think Juve are hedging him, in case Barca throw wedge at Dybala.

This situation is likely holding up several deals (Wimmer to saints, if Coutinho goes and they get VanDijk etc).
