I heard some rumors that Mandjukic could still return to Italy, of course not in Juve but in Verona.
Reportedly, the Croatian coach of Verona, Ivan Juric, really appreciates him and wants to bring him as a reinforcement for next season when Verona could play in Europe as well.
If that happens it will be interesting to watch the matches between Juve and Verona given that Mandjukic will certainly be highly motivated against the former club.
Well, that makes sense, yes. He knows him well and has a good idea of what he would be getting.
Regarding the Havertz transfer - that one is by far the most interesting one for me. Yes, he can play the false 9 (deep striker) role, but from what we've seen so far, he's at his best in a no. 10 role.
The problem? Not so many teams play with no. 10 anymore and Havertz will be sold for huge money. Yes, he's good enough to play anywhere in midfield or attack but he might just be that case where a player is at his best in a position most teams don't play with, his quality there demands a high price tag and clubs are reluctant to pay that price to gamble with him in a different position.
I think whoever gets him will get a player who can play wing, 10, false 9 and offensive midfield, but it will be an exciting transfer to follow. In this situation, ~100 million is a huge gamble. No matter the quality.
