Juventus: Paredes is Juventus, he comes from PSG on loan

The white smoke arrived a few minutes ago: Leandro Paredes is a Juventus player. PSG and the Juventus club reached an agreement in the evening and are currently finalizing the details of the contract. It will be a loan with a right of redemption (under certain conditions). The player will undergo medical examinations on Wednesday in Paris and as early as Thursday he could land in Turin.

Thus ends one of the hottest negotiations in this market and now Allegri finds himself another big player in midfield on which to build a new winning course. In total, between loan and redemption, it is a deal of around 20 million. The transfer was completed at the end of a hectic day that also saw, in extremis, the entry of Arsenal, but the will of the player was decisive, who made it clear to the Parisian club to consider only Juventus and so it is state. Certainly he also recorded Angel Di Maria’s “pressing”: the two are great friends, they were teammates in Paris and they are in the Argentine national team, after a summer vacation spent together in Ibiza. Another determining factor is the World Cup in Qatar: the director is a staple of the Albiceleste and he cannot afford not to play between now and November. At Juve he will find the desired space, probably he would also have found it at Arsenal, certainly not at PSG where his parable had reached the end credits.

Who is

For the 28-year-old Argentine, who grew up in the Cantera del Boca, this is the fourth Italian club. He lands at Chievo (a presence) in 2014 on loan from Rome which takes him back the following year. Then the move to Empoli in the 2015-’16 season and the return to the Giallorossi in the following one where he made his debut in the Champions League. In 2017 it was sold to Zenit St. Petersburg for 23 million plus 4 in bonuses. A year and a half later he goes to PSG for 40 million. Three and a half seasons in Paris (with three French titles) and now a new adventure. In black and white. With Argentina, he has 44 appearances and an America’s Cup on the bulletin board (2021).
