Juventus have managed to raise some funds after deadlline day, which will foot their January budget. While Filip Kostic moved to Fenerbahce on loan, it saved them €5M gross. Four more come from Wojciech Szczesny unretiring and joining Barcelona. It’ll reduce his severance package, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
The final expensive outcast in the Bianconeri books is Arthur. He turned down moves to Turkey and Greece and might go back to Brazil once the windows open there. His departure would free up significant resources.
If Juventus had managed to offload more surplus players in the summer, they would have raised their bid for Jadon Sancho salary-wise. Their offer was fairly low in the end, and Chelsea succeeded. Manchester United would have preferred sending him away from the Premier League.
Unlike the fans, the Old Lady’s hierarchy doesn’t consider the no.9 role a problem. Thiago Motta believes he’ll make it work with Dusan Vlahovic, and Arkadiusz Milik will be back after the next break. Instead, they’d like a change-of-pace guy who could play between the lines and thrive as a super-sub. Weston McKennie has been reinstated also because he’s the midfielder who moves the most without the ball.
Our Take on the Rumored Juventus Strategy for January
They probably won’t have enough dough for a difference-maker, while a priority will emerge on its own from the games. In the meantime, they can address that issue by occasionally fielding Kenan Yildiz as a no.10 and Teun Koopmeiners deeper in the pitch. Then, they ought out to sign a more established player, or occasionally advance Andrea Cambiaso, if they don’t think Jerry Mbangula is up for the task yet on the left.
