Juventus Compile a Long List of Players to Offload
Juventus are in for a long August as, after sending Timothy Weah to Olympique Marseille, they intend to part ways with several more fringe contributors to foot some select additions, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
The closest to leaving at the moment is Fabio Miretti, whom Napoli are actively pursuing. The Partenopei have proposed €14M. The two sides are close to striking a deal. The 22-year-old is back in Turin after a loan spell at Genoa, during which he tallied 3 goals and 3 assists in 25 matches before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.
The thorniest cases for the Juventus management are Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz. The plan is to pocket €25M for the former and €40M for the latter. The Serb has been recently offered to Manchester United, but they aren’t interested for now. They are focusing all their efforts on Benjamin Sesko. Instead, the suitors of the former Aston Villa star have only proposed loans with options to buy.
The Bianconeri brass would like to cash in on all the players whose contracts expire in 2026 to prevent Bosman exits: Weston McKennie, Filip Kostic, Tiago Djalò, and Daniele Rugani. The officials are also welcoming offers for Lloyd Kelly. His exit would lead to an upgrade at the position.
Our Take on the Juventus Strategy
It’s a sound plan, and the reason why they ousted Cristiano Giuntoli is getting clearer by the day, as he would have to undo most of his work. On the other hand, it’s optimistic to think they’ll manage to do everything for acceptable fees in three weeks. There are some useful pieces on the list, and they’ll get burned if they keep waiting to finalize their chases.
