The media analysis pointed out that Yuermand has a stable ball possession and can quickly regain the ball. This Portuguese midfielder is an excellent interceptor and midfield core. He has excellent tactical awareness, accurate prediction of pass lines, proper timing of shoveling, and good skills at the front of the opponent's penalty area. Yuermand is a modern midfielder with both interception and organizational skills. He is exactly the person Juventus needs to pursue balance.
In the early days of Tudor's coaching, Juventus had many problems of disconnection in formation and exposure to the back defense. In the emphasis on offense and fast forward tactics, players who can consolidate the midfield are needed. Therefore, Yurmand was included in the signing list by Tudor and Comoli, and after evaluation, became a priority target.
Juventus and Jurmand both have positive attitudes towards the transfer. The player himself is willing to listen to the offer and consider returning to Italy. But Jurmande's termination fee is as high as 80 million euros, Portugal Sports only accepts a offer of about 50 million euros, and the players' team is seeking to reduce it to 40 million euros. Yorke's transfer distracted the Portuguese management and the club was unwilling to lose the top scorer and captain in the same transfer window.
Meanwhile, negotiations on Alberto Costa are also moving forward (there are frequent contacts between the two clubs this summer), and Jurmand's name has been mentioned. These are two separate operations, but the successful sale of Costa may promote club relations and lay the groundwork for subsequent negotiations.
Juventus' potential funding source is the sale of Douglas Luis. But the transaction has not yet taken shape. Jurmand's transfer still needs to be handled multiple links before entering the substantive stage, but Juventus has decided to try to advance.
