According to ORF (austrian news), Juve are trying to sign 28 yo Xaver Schlager from Leipzig. He is said to be wanted especially by Spalletti already in winter, even though he would be for free in summer.
As an austrian, I have followed the career of Schlager for a while. He is a player that can, if not injured, perform really well and that fights 90 mins for every ball and he can play both defensive but also offensive midfield very well. I think thats something that could really help us. However, he is injured at least like once every season, as so many other players we have bought recently.
What do you guys think, would Schlager be a good signing?

Ruben Neves or Angelo Stiller for me.
This guy wouldnt solve the creativity issie we have, if he is our dm than we need another more creative player if we were to play a 3 man midfield.
Great… exactly what we need. Another useless addition to an already weak midfield.
Schlager makes 1 assist every 10 games. Thats been his consistent performance for the last 350 games and 4 clubs.
At that point, just keep Locatelli, Weston, Thuram, etc. They do more.
Last thing we need is another 25M+++ midfielder joining and accomplishing nothing but 2-3 measly assists a season. We need to save up cash and deploy it on REAL World Class players that will make a material difference to the team and become a consistent starter. Not mid tier players past their prime years making average contributions.
Just another average-decent player. He isn’t better than any midfielder we already have
Schlager is quite good but always injured
