Juventus haven’t solved the Federico Chiesa dilemma and other burdensome situations, but they are on the verge of further trimming down their squad since Daniele Rugani and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia have found new homes.
Per Alfredo Pedullà, the defender seriously contemplated joining Al-Ain, but he’ll stay in Europe instead. Ajax have won the race after Italian coach Francesco Farioli chased him for a few weeks. He touched down in Amsterdam on Monday. It should be a straight loan. Bologna had also pursued him.
Differently from Rugani, Juventus will pocket a small amount of cash for Nicolussi Caviglia. The midfielder is headed to Venezia for €4.5M plus a future re-sale clause, Tuttomercatoweb reports. The Lagunari decided to proceed before finding a solution for Tanner Tessmann.
Besides Chiesa, the Old Lady wants to part ways with Filip Kostic and Tiago Djaló. Arkadiusz Milik will be part of the rotation once healthy. Moreover, they have decided to reinstate Weston McKennie, who has seemed more open to an extension in recent days, Corriere dello Sport informs. He’s in the squad for the Como tilt. The USMNT staple almost made the Douglas Luiz deal collapse with his personal demands. The parties are discussing a one-year renewal.
Our Take on Juventus, Nicolussi Caviglia, and Rugani
It has taken forever, but their plan might come together at last. The McKennie’s U-turn leaves the door open for other reconciliations even though they have been stern about it so far. They need depth after all. Even if Chiesa might leave for free in a year, it’d be silly to just pay him to be on the stands for an entire season.
