A future with 9 on the shirt Scamacca, the new man in Serie A

On pole to become the blue center forward in the playoffs that are worth the full World Striker raised in the Netherlands, he is in the sights of Juventus and Inter

TORINO

He will be the new man of the new year, but it is not just a matter of dates if Gianluca Scamacca starts from pole position in 2022 to become the center forward of the national team and a great Italian team. The Roman striker turns 23 on Saturday 1 January and feels he is already at a turning point after having quickly climbed the hierarchy on the pitch and on the market. To the sound of goals he stood out with Sassuolo, increasingly awarded blue bakery after having already launched Berardi, Raspadori and Locatelli (all three European champions), but it is the desire, the physique and the technical qualities that impress .

Also for this reason Scamacca, who has always been inspired by Ibrahimovic (not only because he is 195 centimeters tall and 85 kilos), has already captured the attention of the coach Roberto Mancini as well as those of the managers of Inter, Juve and Fiorentina who would like to sign him. as soon as possible. The Emilian club has just sold Boga to Atalanta for 22 million and is in no hurry to realize: that’s why it is asking at least 40 million euros for a center forward who is sure to come, but who has played 48 games in Serie A so far with 14 goals scored ( 8 last season at Genoa, where he was on loan, and 6 in this first round).

Scamacca moves at ease in this special showcase, where Juventus is thinking about him for the future: the Serbian Vlahovic remains the priority of the bianconeri, but things risk getting complicated due to the opposition of Fiorentina and the explosion of the team. current championship top scorer. For this reason the blue who grew up in the Netherlands, in the PSV made his professional debut at the age of 17 in January 2016 after playing in the youth teams of Lazio and Rome, becomes more than an alternative and an attempt will be made in January, but only in case starting of Kulusevski (like in England).

Scamacca fits perfectly into the plans of Allegri’s new Juve, younger and more futuristic, but identical thoughts are animating Inter which aims to have a strong Italian block and above all a valuable center-forward for the post-Dzeko. Fiorentina, on the other hand, has for some time identified the point of Sassuolo as the natural replacement for Vlahovic and the hypothesis of a high-level auction is increasingly concrete.

The only one who can have Scamacca without having to pay him is Mancini. The coach has already made his debut in blue, after an excellent resume in the Under 21 with 9 goals in 15 games, and is now planning to take him with him to the world play-offs in March. Also because Italy has always struggled with Immobile and Belotti, while a surprise card could be that of Balotelli (in Turkey he plays and scores) who has always had a special feeling with Mancini. Scamacca, however, is on the launch pad.

«He has everything to become a complete center-forward – the coach of the National team promotes him in an interview with the Gazzetta – and scores in every way, as well as having a body and technique. At the last meeting I talked to him at length and explained to him where he can go with his potential: it all depends on him, on the continuity he will be able to find ». The future of nine is yours. –
