In the ban lists, after Matuidi says goodbye, the names are thickening: Khedira, Higuain, Costa, Rugani, Ramsey, De Sciglio, Bernardeschi and surprisingly Dybala. The reasoning of those who see Juventus reduced for next season is not without logic. Net of the unknown Pirlo, coach with zero kilometers on the bench. But this is not the point. The point is represented by Juve’s limping budgets: there will be no sumptuous investments. The need is to lower the amount of wages and to rejuvenate the squad. Sic stantibus rebus, Dybala still has one year on his contract. Today he receives 7.5 million per season. Apparently he asked for twice as much. Juventus, if these are the claims, will not be able to satisfy him. Here then is the “insistent voice, of a Dybala destined to go away. Maybe for a pharaonic sum of over 100 million able to finance the Lady’s market. Luciano Moggi did this when he sold to Real for 150 billion in the Zidane era. With that money he took Buffon, Nedved, Thuram and Salas. Juve have long signed Kulusevski and Arthur: good players. However to be verified. It will not be the market of the Haaland, the Pogba or the Milinkovic Savic or Zaniolo himself. At least in black and white colors. But four to five new players, in addition to the two mentioned, will be needed. I try to take stock, without having certainties, only hypotheses. But with the knowledge that the sale of Dybala may be necessary. However, identity card in hand, logic would always dictate: if a sacrifice must be, I keep Dybala and leave – with a thousand thanks and all respect – Ronaldo.
In goal it goes on like this.
Central: operated, De Ligt will have it for at least three months before returning. There are Bonucci, Demiral and Chiellini. But how is the captain? If Rugani is sold, Romero, arriving from Genoa, could stay in Turin. External. On the right Danilo and Cuadrado. De Sciglio is out, who was already planning to leave last January. It would take a replacement because the Brazilian was disappointing. On the left we talk about the sale for Alex Sandro and the arrival of Gosens. With Pellegrini alternative. But Frabotta could be launched.
Midfield: via Khedira practically never seen in the season. Via Ramsey, excellent but with crystal muscles, Matuidi already “out”, like Pjanic. There is Arthur who is not yet clear what fish he is. There is Bentancur and there is Rabiot who, after an opaque start, had a promising end to the season. We need a couple. Unless Pirlo has the courage to do what Sarri did: Bernardeschi mezz’ala. The ideal would be Tonali, but it seems that by now he has finished with Inter. The problem is that the director species is on the verge of extinction. Juve have the young Fagioli but will not be able to charge him with such a great responsibility. We speak of Locatelli, of Thomas (Atletico). A friend of mine who lives in London suggested a possible Costa – Gundogan exchange. I do not know. Turns the name of De Paul: excellent profile, technical and physical but he is not a director. He could always return from Udine, Mandragora.
In attack, everything is linked to Ronaldo: will he stay? Then Dybala which I wrote about. The center forward? Dzeko is a solution for one season with an option for the next. Milik costs too much one year after the end of his contract. Morata has an Italian wife but he seems to be a player in decline. Kulisevski will be the attacking winger. This is the state of the art. As mentioned, I professionally envy those who “know”. Lucky them.
