Feyenoord Ace Hancko Addresses Insistent Juventus Links

Juventus have been after David Hancko for about a year at this point. They will target him again in the summer, with better chances of being successful. The defender was quizzed about his future after the Champions League elimination at the hands of Inter (via OneFootball).

“There was a lot of chatter about me, especially last summer and during the winter. I spoke clearly with our sporting director in January. I opted to key in on the Champions League and our other important matches and haven’t been thinking about it since then. We’ll discuss it at the end of the season. I’m focused on Feyenoord for now.”

Hancko is pleased with his growth and his team’s journey in the top continental competition.

“Our path was incredible. Playing in this cup and beating Bayern Munich was fantastic. Bowing out like this isn’t ideal, but we had some great matches. These opportunities show you how hard things are at this level and how many top teams there are. It’s my second year in the Champions League, and I’ve learned a lot. This is my goal in each game.”

Juventus tested the waters for Hancko in the past window before settling for Renato Veiga and Lloyd Kelly. The Dutch team reportedly didn’t want to sell their stars but sent Santiago Gimenez to Milan before deadline day.

Our Take on Juventus and Hancko

He has more than held his own in Europe even under intense pressure and is fully ready to make the jump to a top team. On the other hand, assuming Gleison Bremer returns without any delay and Pierre Kalulu is bought out, the Bianconeri’s defense is about to be pretty crowded.
