In Juve-Roma, two starlets who were sparkling together in Turin will clash: Thiago Motta would have kept them both but there was a need to do so, so…
Since the birth of the second team, Juve has changed the way they market. It has opened up to the world for young talents looking for a springboard like the Next Gena privileged path to reach the first team for many but not for all. Yildiz and Soulé, who will duel again in the next Juve-Roma, have had little or nothing in the second team: after both having chosen Turin and having thoroughly understood the Juve world in the Spring, the passage of growth in Serie C for both was superfluous, not very functional to give vent to their talent. Thus, although at different times, the first team promotion came very quickly for both of them. From aggregates.

Yildiz and Soulé have different physical structures and characteristics, but they are made of the same cloth. These are talented players, imaginative and not inclined to tactical cages. Soulé in Turin had found in Dybala one of the main references to progress on his path, while Yildiz has always experienced Juve with the idea of wanting to replicate Del Piero’s path: neither of them lacks ambition. Except that after a year as a member of the first team, the Argentine thought it appropriate to ask for a loan to play more. While in the same season, 2023-24, Yildiz aimed to make the leap to the big leagues. Soulé was quick to show off himself in Frosinone: he ended the season with 11 goals and 3 assists in 39 appearances.

The choice will be made in the summer of 2024, in what has never been a real ballot but a comparison yes, at least for market purposes. Soulé had offers, lots of them. Giuntoli would have liked to place him in the Premier League, the Argentine decided to find Dybala in the capital: Roma paid him well, i.e. 26 million plus 4 in bonuses. The Juve choice was mainly driven by the need to break a stalemate phase in the summer transfer market, considering that with the arrival of Thiago Motta it was necessary to make a half-revolution in the squad. It seems that the coach had included the Argentine among the players he would have liked to keep, but to reach the top he had to sacrifice someone and Giuntoli was unable to satisfy him.

Thiago Motta found himself in the Yildiz first team, and did not have to be asked to give him space right away. The Turk owes him his first opportunities among the greats with a certain continuity, after Allegri – who had previously also given Soulé his debut in the first team – had used him occasionally. The player born in 2005, two years younger than Soulé, has since then earned his place as a starter and an increasingly central role in the Juve project. Who now entrusts his future on the shoulders of number 10, waiting to secure him with the renewal of his contract. Soulé, on the other hand, is among that list of talents that Juve has let go in recent years partly by choice and partly to remain in balance on the budget: this is why some of them are also a regret.
