In previous rumors, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, Juventus were all linked with Piazon's name. Just two weeks ago, Juventus seemed to have come out on top in this battle for the player. On January 26th, accompanied by his parents, Piazon arrived in Turin. They first visited the Juventus headquarters located on Via Ferraris, holding discussions with club executives such as Marotta, then toured the Automobile City under the accompaniment of club personnel. At that time, 'TuttoSport' pointed out that the two clubs had basically agreed, with Piazon's transfer fee being between 4-6 million euros.

Besides Neymar, Ganso, Lucas, these highly exposed talents, Piazon has also caught the attention of several major clubs.

However, as they say, "a long night breeds many dreams." This Saturday, 'TuttoJuventus' quoted British talkSPORT news stating that Real Madrid's involvement has cast doubt over Juventus's acquisition of Piazon. The report indicated that under Real Madrid's influence, Sao Paulo FC plans to raise Piazon's valuation, aiming to extract as much money as possible from this rising star.
This sudden change undoubtedly poses a big problem for Marotta. This summer, this transfer master still needs to consider finalizing deals for Quagliarella, Matri, Aquilani, etc. If all three are brought in, Juventus will need to spend nearly 50 million euros. Whether there is room to increase the budget for introducing Piazon remains questionable.
