According to journalist Gianluca DiMarzio, Juventus are interested in signing Bayern Munich’s Corentin Tolisso this summer.
Corentin Tolisso. The Old Lady’s top target in the summer 2021 transfer window is still Sassuolo’s Manuel Locatelli, but Tolisso will be a backup. According to DiMarzio, Juventus had the first contact with Tolisso with the consent of coach Max Allegri. Tolisso’s contract at Bayern expires next year and he has struggled to compete for a starting place in the Gray Lobster’s midfield. The French player has great potential but injuries keep him from reaching his full potential. He still has some great performances for Bayern but with plenty of quality options in central midfield, the German club are weighing Tolisso’s future. An offer from Juventus for a player who is not so important and is about to enter the final year of his contract will be worth considering for Bayern. They certainly don’t want him to go under the CNTD format, but they don’t plan to extend it either. DiMarzio also pointed out that this is not the first time Juventus has pursued the French midfielder. They tried to sign him in 2017, when he was still playing for Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1. After that, Tolisso moved to Bayern for 41.5 million euros, a record transfer fee for Gray Lobster at the time. Only when Luca Hernandez moved from Atletico Madrid for a fee of 80 million euros in the summer of 2019, this record was broken. In addition to Juventus, Tolisso has also received the attention of many big players such as Arsenal, Man United, Inter Milan, Napoli and Atletico Madrid. In the winter transfer window of 2021, there was much information that Bayern wanted to use Tolisso as part of the agreement to sign Florian Neuhaus from Borussia Monchengladbach. However, the deal was not successful.
