Although Marotta denied it repeatedly, the Italian media has already widely believed that Buffon will join Roma, which has a new owner. However, at the same time, Marotta also retained another soul figure of the team for Juventus. He personally stated that the renewal contract with Del Piero has reached an agreement. In an interview with Italian Sky Sports, Marotta talked about the transfer market, especially regarding Del Piero: "I want to tell you the truth and facts. Agnelli directly negotiated with Del Piero, and they easily reached an agreement. It seems that the formal renewal steps will be taken very soon because the agreement has been completed." Del Piero's renewal should have been completed long ago, but due to dissatisfaction with the attitude of the club management, the斑马 Prince delayed the negotiation process. Once Agnelli personally got involved, the renewal became a natural thing.
However, missing out on Di Natale, the top scorer in Serie A for nearly two years, was indeed painful for Juventus. But Di Natale himself was relieved that he did not join Juventus. Speaking excitedly about the black-and-white stripes on his jersey, Di Natale said: "I chose the right black-and-white stripes." "I stayed in Udinese because of these people in the club," Di Natale expressed. "I am 33 years old now, not 20, so I am very happy to stay in Udinese, a club like a big family. Of course, I would talk about these things with my family when I make decisions, and everyone in my family would help me consider. But none of us wanted me to go to Juventus, including myself."
In addition, Marotta also acknowledged the progress of Juventus in the transfer market. Although he did not mention specific names, he still revealed: "We indeed have our eyes on two very outstanding players. In fact, I want to buy all the good players in the world, but this is extremely difficult economically." Regarding the matter of buying out Aquilani, Marotta said that Juventus had not yet formally started negotiations with Liverpool: "We haven't started yet, but we will soon have a short meeting. I don't think there will be any problems with buying out Aquilani."
