Tottenham: Antonio Cassano slams ‘genius’ Juventus decision to let ‘sensational’ Dejan Kulusevski leave

Juventus and coach Massimiliano Allegri have been criticised for their “genius” decision to allow Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur to join Tottenham.

Former Italy striker Antonio Cassano sarcastically took aim at the Serie A giants after watching Swedish winger Kulusevski in particular star under Antonio Conte at Spurs.

The loanee has notched three goals and six assists in 11 Premier League games, leading to reports of his new boss wanting a permanent deal arranged with Juve.

For Cassano, the decision shows the difference between Allegri and ex-Bianconeri coach Conte.

“The genius [Allegri] sent Kulusevski and Bentancur away, who are fourth in the table at Tottenham,” he told his Bobo TV Twitch channel.

“They are both doing very well, Dejan is sensational in his play, with assists and goals.

“Conte manages to squeeze his players into making them perform at their best. He always has done, last year at Inter and today at Spurs.”
