Between 2016 and 2021, Rodrigo De Paul was the ultimate star at Udinese. Naturally, his exploits caught the attention of the big Serie A boys, including Juventus.
Nonetheless, it was was Atletico Madrid who eventually closed the deal for the Argentine, offering the Zebrette 35 million euros for his services.
Unfortunately for the playmaker, he has been struggling to prove his worth in the Spanish capital, even if he remains an important figure in the Argentine national team.
So according to Marca via TuttoJuve, Diego Simeone has seen enough, and is in favor of selling De Paul come January.
This would open the door for Juventus, as well as other suitors, who will try to bolster their ranks with a talented midfielder. The player is reportedly valued at 35 million euros.
This season, the 28-year-old has made seven LaLiga appearances, contributing with a single goal and an assist. His contract with the Colchoneros expires in 2026.
Juve FC say
In their current squad, Juventus don’t have a player who can link the midfield with the attack. Perhaps Fabio Miretti could develop into a fine attacking midfielder, but at the moment, De Paul is on another level.
Nonetheless, the Argentine won’t come cheap, and if he fails to deliver the goods in Turin, the Bianconeri will be left with another failed investment with a low resell value.
Federico Cherubini and company must be careful with this one.
How is on another level if he can’t succeed at Atletico Madrid with Simione. Don’t forget when you play for a top team you get more attention for the opposing teams. It’s not the same as playing for a middle of the table club. Stick with Miretti, Fagioli, and Rovella. Enough with these unproven wishy-washy players like Paredes. Waste of money and the prevention of developing better homegrown talent.
scaloni knew, paredes limited at defensive coverage that’s why he added de paul.
when they all played with 2 pivot, argentina in trouble, you need 3 men including parede and de paul.
one of them or 2 of them just not good enough.
does buying de Paul will suddenly elevating juve plays? it’s just another wasting huge money.
soon juve will goes bankrupt while exxor wont.
this team is subsidiaries.
and kept buying failed, flopped, dead wood wont help our finance.
if we buying de Paul for 32M at 28yo.
if he fail? there will be no chance that money will come back.
juve has no midfield to link up attakers and back? Lol that’s our system of play.
long ball from the back
its not we dont have that kind of players.
we have to stop being so ignorant about football and keep supporting buying flop, useless players.
when de paul leave udinese that didnt change udinese at all.
its clear that de paul not the players that can change a team result especially a trouble team.
Also don’t forget that these teams like Udinese purposely showcase and often force development from a lot of these players. It’s more their strategic showcase than anything else. They always will try to put the player in a favorable position to get the best out of him. Never really challenge them to see if they can take it. They can’t take that risk. Ok, SOME are actually good. But don’t forget that this is how these teams make their bread and butter. They depend on teams like Juve and Atl. Madrid to spend big bucks to keep themselves afloat financially.
