Juventus are working to hijack Gian Piero Gasperini deal with Roma

Gian Piero Gasperini future is hanging in the balance as his anticipated move away from Atalanta begins to attract more suitors.

After nearly a decade of transformative work in Bergamo, the veteran tactician has made it clear to Atalanta’s board that he seeks a new challenge. His departure now appears imminent, yet his next destination remains uncertain.

On Thursday, Gasperini traveled to Tuscany for high-level discussions with Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin. And joined by newly appointed sporting director Florent Ghisolfi and interim coach Claudio Ranieri.

This meeting marked a critical step in Roma’s pursuit of Gasperini, who had been in advanced negotiations with the club. However, despite face-to-face talks, an agreement could not be finalized, as lingering contractual and strategic issues remain unresolved.

The delay in Roma’s negotiations has left a window open—one that Juventus seems eager to exploit. Reports from DAZN and Sportitalia indicate that the Bianconeri are now actively considering Gasperini as a viable candidate to take the helm in Turin.

This development comes as Juve’s original top choice, Antonio Conte, reaffirmed his commitment to Napoli, eliminating a key contender from the equation.

Moreover, Juventus is undergoing significant internal restructuring. A shake-up in their sporting department is anticipated, with reports suggesting that current sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli could be dismissed.

This signals a broader shift in club philosophy—perhaps a perfect backdrop for Gasperini’s tactical innovation. For Gasperini, both Roma and Juventus offer prestigious platforms and ambitious projects, but also distinct challenges.

Roma provides a squad with growing potential and new leadership behind the scenes, while Juventus offers tradition, pressure, and an urgent desire to return to domestic dominance.

As the days progress, the question looms: will Gasperini lead Roma’s renaissance, or be the architect of Juventus’ rebuild? For now, both clubs wait—and so does the football world.
