UDINE. Marco Silvestri is the new goalkeeper of Udinese. After the medical examinations sustained on Monday afternoon in Rome at Villa Stuard, the former Verona number one arrived in Friuli and on Tuesday 20 July signed the contract that will bind him to the Juventus club until 2024. Silvestri, who earned in Verona 500 thousand euros, the salary by the Juventus club would have been revised upwards.
For Udinese it is a real economic and technical affair. He replaces Musso with a reliable goalkeeper, paying him 2.2 million plus 500 thousand euros as a bonus. Not bad considering that Silvestri was valued at 7 million no later than a year ago. Emiliano, born in ’91, the new Juventus goalkeeper has grown up in the youth sector of Modena. During his career he wore the shirts of Chievo, Reggiana, Padua, Cagliari. For him also an experience in the Championship at Leeds where in the 2014-2015 season he stands out by saving four penalties. In the summer of 2017 he returned to Italy at Verona where he was the protagonist of both the promotion and the last two excellent seasons of Juric’s Hellas.
After Pans, therefore, here is Silvestri: the two go to form a competitive and reliable pair of goalkeepers. At this point, as was to be expected, it is out Simone Scuffet on which the Ternana slope remains warm.
There are many names of the defenders who have either been offered or are followed by Udinese. One of the first had been that of the Pole Kamil Thek, 33 years owned by Benevento. The deal is stalled a bit because Udinese must place before buying it Of May partly because there are other profiles that most intrigue the Friulian management. The Croatian stands out above all Bosko Sutalo, born in 2000, owned by Atalanta who last season was used on seven occasions by Gasperini, three of which from the start. It seems the ideal profile, but it will not be easy to convince Atalanta to sell him. To be recorded, as we had already remarked yesterday, that Udinese was also offered Francesco Vicari, class of ’94 whose card costs about 3 million. This is the classic defender suitable for the three-man defense.
Meanwhile, Udinese continues to probe the external market. In Brazil there is talk of an interest from the Friulian club for Marcos Rocha, under the Palmeiras, but the age 32 clashes with what is the philosophy of Udinese. The cost of his card is around a million. It would cost five times as much, however, Lucas Calegari, who in fact is only 19 years old. –
