The Juventus outgoing market is starting to take shape a little more. It is no coincidence that the club’s market team is intensifying contacts with England in these hours, from where the most interesting offers could come. In the last few hours there has been an internal call: with Cristiano Giuntoli and Max Allegri, together with all the others who have been at the forefront of the negotiations in recent weeks. In fact, the new manager asked for an update on the strategies that have been implemented up to now, so as to operate in full synergy right away.

ARTHUR

Juve’s first need is to find a place for players who don’t fit into the coach’s plans. It would be ideal to monetize these outings as much as possible, so as to avoid having to sacrifice too many valuable pieces of the squad to settle the accounts. The most complex situation, which realistically excludes the possibility of a sale, is that of Arthur: the Brazilian still weighs in the balance sheet for around 31 million, it would already be a big deal to be able to make him pay all his salary (6 and a half million) from the club willing to borrow it. However, he does not lack the requested offers: De Zerbi’s Brighton has also moved.

THE OTHERS

There are more hopes of selling at least one between McKennie and Zakaria outright, even with operations calibrated over the long term. West Ham have moved for the Swiss but the negotiation has yet to get underway, meanwhile the black and whites are trying to create a market around the American, already in the sights of Galatasaray and Borussia Dortmund. Monetizing their exits well would mean shortening the distances on the 100 million goal that Juve must set up to face the losses caused by not participating in the next Champions League.

PRECIOUS PIECES

The movements around the big names in the squad have yet to come to life: Chiesa and Vlahovic can become targets for the top English clubs, but Iling and Bremer must not be lost sight of either. For now, the Bianconeri do not intend to go too far on any table: they listen, record and evaluate; in the hope of selling first those who have no future in Turin. At Continassa they try not to overbalance potential painful sales, even if sooner or later that moment will come, and, at that point, it will be necessary to counter by finding the right alternatives on the market.
