The bianconeri have temporarily freed themselves of two heavy engagements, but the risk is that in 2026 the Argentine and the Brazilian can return to the base if they do not achieve the objectives foreseen by the contract
Almost 60 million doubts. The Juventus market has experienced sudden acceleration in the last ten days of August, with incoming and outgoing barrels. Yes, because the departures of Douglas Luiz and Nico Gonzalez have allowed the DG Comolli to temporarily lighten the budget and to limit the damage of the investment on two players who in Turin have not been able to impose themselves, but the risk is that 10 months later they can return to the base. Doubts are represented by the formula of transfers to Nottingham Forest and Atletico Madrid: loan with redemption obligation “upon occurrence of certain conditions during the sporting season”. And the realization of this note is not so obvious.
Douglas Luiz, when the redemption obligation starts
–
The simplest situation is certainly the one linked to the Brazilian ex Aston Villa, who returned to the Premier, at Nottingham Forest, on loan for 3 million with a conditioned redemption obligation set at 25. Because the definitive acquisition is triggered, however, Douglas Luiz will have to play 15 games (of at least 45 minutes) with the “Garibaldi” shirt. It is not a very complicated goal to be achieved for a player who with the “villans” in 2023/24 had played 50 out of 53 overall and in a team that, in addition to the championship and in the national cups, will be engaged in the Europa League. The doubts, however, are not lacking and are mainly linked to two aspects: what will your physical conditions be after the 4 muscle injuries of which it was victims last season? And above all, after neither with Thiago Motta nor with Tudor the right feeling was triggered and who remained on two occasions on the bench on two occasions, with Postecoglu (fresh neo -art of Nottingham Forest) will he change the music? If the Brazilian performance were to retrace that of the year at Juve (just 7 appearances of over 45 minutes out of 19 total), in the summer of 2026 his return to Turin would be inevitable.
Nico Gonzalez redemption obligation, the clause
–
However, the agreements with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Nico Gonzalez are even more stringent. The Argentine reached the Colchoneros on loan for one million, with a redemption obligation set at 32 Because the clause for the definitive acquisition by the Atletico is triggered, however, it will be necessary that Nico will keep at least 21 games (always from a minimum of 45 minutes) on the 35 of Liga still scheduled in this vintage. Not easy, because it means immediately entering the preferences of Simeone and because, in the last two seasons, the Argentine outside has reached just this goal: 22 with Fiorentina 2023/24, 23 with the bianconeri in the last championship. Juve observes and crosses the fingers.
