Juventus Adjust Midfield Plans After Pogba Injury Blow

Paul Pogba missing time with an injury has not massively impacted the pre-existent strategies for the Juventus midfield. The club proceeded to end Aaron Ramsey’s underwhelming and expensive spell anyway. They paid €3.3M to rescind his contract, according to La Stampa.

Arthur remains on the chopping block, but Valencia are the only interested side, Gianluca Di Marzio reports. Arsenal aren’t after him anymore, while a return to Barcelona is improbable at this stage. Los Murcielagos asked for him on loan and would pay only a portion of his wages.

If Juventus managed to offload Arthur, Leandro Paredes would be the no.1 target to bolster the midfield, Alfredo Pedullà informs. PSG have decided to let him go, but they will not give him away and want €20M. They rejected some previously rumored swaps.

According to TuttoSport, Pogba has left the United States without having surgery. He will visit some specialists in Europe before deciding the best course of action. Adrien Rabiot will fill in while he is on the mend.

As per Calciomercato, the Bianconeri want Nicolò Fagioli to stay put to help out. The directors are working on his extension, as his contract expires in 2023. He wants technical reassurances before signing it. Instead, Nicolò Rovella could go out on loan, as Salernitana are openly pursuing him.

Our Take on the Juventus Midfield

Pogba missing time right off the bat is a bummer, but the Old Lady was wary it could happen given how injury-riddled his recent seasons have been. They have the resources to compensate for him without new additions, but the regista and the Arthur problems stay. Being forced to lean on the youngsters might be serendipitous.
