Juventus will be forced to reduce their payroll and might struggle to keep ahold of players without the Champions League following the ten-point deduction. Due to a combination of factors, Angel Di Maria, Adrien Rabiot, and Leandro Paredes have likely played their last game in Turin Sunday versus Milan, Goal informs.
The Bianconeri would gladly retain the Frenchman, but he has loftier ambitions and sizeable requests on personal terms. Their higher-ups haven’t had contacts with his mother and agent lately as they are aware of having slim chances. Manchester United have resumed tracking him, and Bayern Munich tested the waters too.
Di Maria and Paredes seemed more open to staying than Rabiot, but Juventus thought otherwise. As for El Fideo, the officials changed their minds following the Europa League elimination. They elected to move on considering his age, wage demands, and some frictions along the way. He’s mulling other destinations in Europe.
The loanee has played more lately as the Bianconeri rotated often, but the decision not to pick up the €22.6M option to buy him out from PSG had long been made. The Argentine duo might team up at Galatasaray next, Calciomercato reports.
Our Take on Di Maria, Rabiot, and Paredes
The Old Lady will inevitably cut costs, plus they have a few youngsters waiting in the wings. The World Champions had some good stretches but his season with them hasn’t been positive overall. He’s an expensive luxury sans the Champions League. The French midfielder was brilliant this campaign, but it took him five years to meet expectations.
