Cobolli Gigli warns Juventus fans of Conte sale plans

Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has warned fans of a major sale this summer.

Cobolli Gigli believes coach Antonio Conte is prepared to make a big name sale to fund his plans to radically change his team for next season's Champions League.

He told TMW: "I believe that Conte wants to try a new adventure, to point to goals other than those which so far has centered with Juventus. The Bianconeri has good income, but I do not think they can be compared to clubs with foreign capital.

"Conte, in Turin, has done the most he can and wanted to do something else, but he forgot one small detail - namely the year on his contract that still ties him to the club.

"The parties spoke, in a friendly manner, and then agreed that contracts are to be respected.

"Conte is now talking with the club to build a different Juventus, studying the possibilities available including through the sale of players like Pogba or the same Llorente after arriving at no cost and could be resold for a hefty sum cash."
