Sebastian Giovinco Tipped To Leave Juventus & Join Either Napoli Or Sampdoria – Report
Apr 13th
Juventus striker Sebastian Giovinco could be facing the axe at the end of the season and will head to Napoli or Sampdoria, depending on who offers the best deal, claims Tuttosport.
Giovinco has not had the best of seasons having often being snubbed by both former coach Ciro Ferrara and current boss Alberto Zaccheroni, who prefers to use Diego and Antonio Candreva instead.
But the ‘Formica Atomica’ has had enough of seeing the bench. And his agent Andrea D’Amico has outlined new concrete plans in which he could leave.
“He needs a project of continuity. There are no doubts he has great class, but he needs to find the right coach who looks at his performances.
“When someone is young he always has an impact on games, and Giovinco has always done this.”
Napoli are said to be interested in the Italian youngster. But Sampdoria are lurking in the shadows. Juve’s penchant for Giampaolo Pazzini could see the flood doors open. The Bianconeri are pondering whether to use Giovinco as a bargaining tool in a deal for Pazzini.
Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia are reporting Giovinco sustained an injury in this morning’s training session at Vinovo. The playmaker went down with a muscular problem.
It’s thought to be related to a problem he picked up during the 1-0 win over Cagliari after coming on in the final minutes. Juventus have not confirmed the extent of his problem.
Giovinco needs a project

Will Giovinco stay?
The 24-year-old has made just five starting appearances this season and hasn’t thrived in competition with Brazilian trequartista Diego.
Speaking to Tutto Mercato Web, D’Amico said: “He needs a project and continuity.
“Sebastian has great class, but he has to find the right Coach who doesn’t look at his identity cards and other conditions, but only at his performances.
“When someone is young, he only has to influence the flow of the game, and Sebastian has always done that,” D’Amico concluded.
Giovinco has been linked with a move to Sampdoria in exchange for Giampaolo Pazzini, Juventus’ principal transfer target this summer.
Juventus To Use Sebastian Giovinco As Bait For Palermo’s Simon Kjaer – Report
Apr 7th
The Bianconeri are planning to use the young playmaker as a means of getting Kjaer…
Juventus are set to hold a summer clear-out with a number of players leaving, and Sebastian Giovinco will be used as a bargaining tool for Palermo defender Simon Kjaer.
The young Italian has become an outcast at the club over the last year. The arrivals of Diego and Antonio Candreva have seen him frozen out of plans. Appearances on the bench or in the stands have been the story of much of Giovinco’s season.
With the possibility of regular action looking less than likely next term, Juve will use him as a spanner to tighten up a move for Kjaer. The Palermo stopper is wanted in Turin, but the Rosanero want cash plus a player, and Giovinco may be the right kind of bait.
The ‘Formica Atomica’ has always resisted moves away in the past, but he is not prepared to stay on at Juve only to play second fiddle.
