Battle
Juventus technical director Cristiano Giuntoli has traveled to England to hold talks with several clubs about this operation and Nottingham Forest is also interested in him. After their impressive first half of this season, they are in a good position to beat the London clubs in this race.
Fagioli is comfortable playing in the box-to-box role, as well as occupying the midfield position. He is an energetic player and has a good eye for long-distance passes.
Juventus have a strong midfield department, so it is understandable that he found it difficult to break into their starting XI. However, he is a talented player and has plenty of time on his side to turn his fortunes around in the future and a change of environment could help him achieve that.
The Lilywhites are lacking in their midfield department and are still in all competitions this season. They need a squad fit to challenge on all fronts, so signing a new midfielder could be a smart move and the Italian could be a useful acquisition if he is bought.
However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club finally manages to win the race to sign Fagioli by beating their rivals in this race.
