Juventus are in the process of trimming their squad and are negotiating the departures of Koni De Winter and Marley Aké. The winger will join Udinese.
The Bianconeri wanted him to stay in Italy following a six-month loan spell at Dijon. He bagged 3 goals in 14 appearances in Ligue 2. The Old Lady will remain in control of his future, SportMediaset relays.
While Aké will depart soon, a few sides are competing to pry De Winter away from Juventus. Genoa are currently in the lead, Il Secolo XIX informs. Reversing a previous call, as the defender seemed slated to be part of the squad, the Bianconeri have decided to sell him. They require the insertion of an obligation to buy in the formula.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Matias Soulé is also available but only for a hefty offer. The Old Lady values him €20/25M. Bayer Leverkusen and Feyenoord inquired but won’t tender that much. Borussia Monchengladbach aren’t interested despite some murmurs. Monza and Sassuolo want him on loan.
Our Take on Juventus, Aké, De Winter, and Soulé
The playing time up for grabs shrunk with the exclusion from the European Conference League, so they’ll predictably have a tighter roster. It’s a common strategy to sell youngsters rather than starters to raise money, but they’ll have to be careful with their assessments, as they risk losing some gems.
