Fabio Capello does not understand why Juventus would want to sign Marseille forward Arkadiusz Milik before the transfer window closes.
Juve are reported to be keen to land Poland international Milik rather than Barcelona’s Memphis Depay.
Milik scored 20 goals in 37 games for Ligue 1 side Marseille in all competitions last season, and the Bianconeri are said to have lined up a loan move for the former Napoli man, with the option to sign him permanently.
Former Juve boss Capello is not enthused over reports that Milik could be on his way to Turin.
“We need a player who has more quality. I hear about Milik, but he is not a player that makes the difference,” Capello told Sky Sport Italia
“It’s not what the fans dream of seeing at Juve – he’s a good player, who can be part of the squad, but nothing more.”
Vice president Pavel Nedved confirmed that Depay is a target for Juve ahead of Monday’s goalless Serie A draw at Sampdoria.
He told DAZN: “There is no need to speed up the process, that is never a good idea. We are evaluating; we are vigilant about what the market offers.
“We must evaluate well, looking at training and injuries; we are considering entering the market.
“Depay can play with with Dusan [Vlahovic] or in his place. He can play with [Moise] Kean and play as a winger, but he is only one of the names we are evaluating.”
