Lazio vs Juventus – what Giuntoli said

Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli spoke to DAZN before kick-off.

“We started the season with some economic and technical objectives, we are convinced that we’re on the right track and that we will be competitive next season regardless,” he said.

“Clearly, the Champions League would help a great deal, both financially and in terms of prestige.”

Questioned about the future of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, who is on the bench against Lazio today, Giuntoli said: “We have a very good rapport with the player and his agent. We will sit down at the end of the season to discuss and evaluate whether to continue together or to take separate paths.”
