Juventus is reportedly confident about securing the signing of Georgiy Sudakov, with the deal expected to materialize, possibly in the upcoming summer. While the 21-year-old is versatile, excelling primarily as a no.10, Juventus faces the challenge of incorporating him into their usual scheme, which lacks such a position. Sudakov does have experience as an offensive-minded box-to-box player. The urgency arises from Juventus losing Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli to lengthy suspensions, prompting the search for a replacement.
Despite facing competition, Juventus believes an offer in the range of €15-20 million could entice Sudakov. His current season's performances include three goals and one assist in 14 appearances, with a notable goal against Barcelona in the Champions League. Bursting onto the scene last season, Sudakov showcased his playmaking abilities with 13 goals and 13 assists in 81 appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk.
