In an interview given to Tuttosport, Luca Toni has talked about several different subjects. From Juventus to CR7, to Guardiola and Allegri. The former striker, now 41 years old, has also talked about an hypothetical swap between Dybala and Icardi: "Juventus would benefit more  from such a swap. Dybala has a lot of potential but Icardi's numbers are better: you're assured of a certain number of goals with him. That being said, Juventus already have C. Ronaldo, Mandzukic and Kean who's getting better, I don't know if Icardi would be the perfect solution. CR7 capocannoniere? Now that he's out of the Champions League, it's his only objective. His teammates will do their best to help him score. It would also be the first top goalscorer in England, Spain and Italy. There's no one better than Cristiano. The Bianconeri have reached such a level that they need to aim for the other's champions to improve: I'd see Toni Kroos at Juve with some invesments in defense, one like Jerome Boateng for example. Barzagli's absence will be noticed, he's a silent leader, an example. After Nesta and Cannavaro, he's been the best defender in the past few years".

About Max Allegri: "The fans aren't really excited about him becauser they now expect a lot. Juventus are like Bayern in Germany: if they're winning it's normal, if they're not it's a tragedy. Out of the Champions League? The Italian teams have problems to do well in Europe because the players have to give a lot of energy in Italy because of all the pressure and polemics. Once they get to the big meetings in Europe, they're exhausted. I like Max a lot, he's won so much and has done an amazing job in the past few years. I'd keep him in bianconero, even if 5 years on one bench are a lot in Italy. If he decided to leave, I'd go for Pep".

About Guardiola, former Brescia teammate: "He already had a coach mind as a player, he then's done well starting at Barcelona before confirming his abilities in other top clubs. He'll eventually coach in Italy, he told me he wanted to return before he got in Manchester. I could picture him at Roma, a club he's still tied to, or at Juventus who are the number one. A return this summer? I don't think so, even if anything can happen in football".
