Hancko could be a solid option for all of them.
🚨 David Hancko: “I’m not happy with fake news saying that I spoke to Juventus or we’ve agreed on personal terms. It’s not true at all”.
“Juve might be interested but we never spoke. I told my teammates that it’s fake, I’ve no idea where this is coming from”, told @MikosGouka. pic.twitter.com/6bsGg7wmlv
