The bianconeri risk losing Rabiot and aim for the biancoceleste talent who is linked to Lazio until 2024. Lotito does not want to lose him on a free transfer and compared to the past, when the Juventus coach had bet on him, the requests are more affordable

Juve has understood that the competition for Frattesi (for whom it had moved forward) is getting tougher. Not being able to participate in auctions, that of the Lady can only become a waiting strategy. Rabiot has had the club’s renewal proposal in hand for some time: Allegri, in frequent contact with the player, is convinced that the Frenchman may decide to stay; less optimism would filter from the management, because mom Veronique would like him to play in the Champions League. The fact is that plan B is starting to take shape around that name that the coach and the club have often imagined with the black and white shirt: Milinkovic Savic, in fact, in the spring of last year seemed the first on the list to strengthen the midfield, at least until until at Continassa they evaluated Pogba’s return to Turin as more effective. The idea that leads in the footsteps of the Serbian remains good.

ALLEGRI’S PALLINO

If Rabiot leaves, Allegri would like a reference player in the middle. The downsizing of the squad and cost containment are fine, but a sacrifice is needed on the pivot of the midfield. With Locatelli and Fagioli (plus the alternatives) Juve have a playmaker and a midfielder, the coach – who intends to continue with the 3-5-2 – wants an insertion midfielder, capable of clearly raising the level of danger in the goal area . The Sergeant from Lazio has always been a dot, ever since Max would have wanted him as a natural replacement for Khedira. Milinkovic Savic knows Italian football well and, unlike a few years ago, will leave Lazio at a more affordable price: Lotito has gone from the request for 100 million and 70 last year to around 25, on the other hand, the footballer is just one year from the expiry and has already communicated that it will not renew the contract.

DEAL

At this point, to avoid losing him to zero, Lazio must sell him: Juventus is there, even if they are not alone. Contacts between the midfielder’s agent and Continassa’s men have never been interrupted, SMS often visits Turin because his brother has carved out an important space for himself under the Mole, on the grenade bank, in recent years. The player’s intention to stay in Italy continues to filter it covertly, the idea of ​​wearing the Juve shirt has always fascinated him and even in terms of salary he would have quite sustainable demands. It’s not yet a real negotiation, but the Rome-Turin axis can heat up quickly: also because the Biancocelesti would like to keep Pellegrini at a discount (clause set at 15 million) and they might also be interested in some other players: watch out to Rovella (Sarri’s favourite) but also to Zakaria and Arthur.
