After featuring in more than 50% of the club’s fixtures this season, Alex Sandro has triggered an automatic renewal clause that will allow him to remain at Juventus for another year while collecting the same hefty salary (6 million euros per year).
Naturally, the management is far from happy with the outcome. After all, the club was hoping to part ways with the Brazilian who has been on a steady decline in recent years.
But according to TuttoJuve, the hierarchy hasn’t lost hope just yet, as the club’s directors are still looking to rid themselves of the 32-year-old’s high salary.
The source claims that Juventus will try to mutually terminate Sandro’s contract, allowing the player to test the free agent market.
This season, the former Porto man has made 37 appearances across all competitions, contributing with a couple of assists.
Juve FC say
At this point, Juventus realize that they’re unlikely to find a suitor who’s willing to spend a transfer fee on the ageing Brazilian.
Nonetheless, even this solution feels unlikely, as Sandro isn’t legally-obliged to accept a premature termination.
The left-back seems content enough in Turin, and he’s unlikely to find himself a new club that is willing to match his lucrative wages.
So unless something dramatic comes up, Juventus would certainly struggle in their attempts to convince Sandro of moving elsewhere.
The directors from juve is simply a joke..
The team play him for 50% + games ,the know about the automatic renewal clause and now they want him out of the team and must pay compensation to terminate the 1 year contact.Awful organisation……
The blame lays with Allegri because he selected him to play in the games. He should have been sacked just for doing that let alone all the other disasters he caused on Juventus like missing out on UCL by losing 10 games and drawing too many. Because f Allegri’s incompetent performance the club has to sell Vlahovic who will no doubt become one of the world’s leading strikers under any other decent manager.
It was painfull to watch when allegri used him three man defence line while Gatti and Rugani sit on the bench. Once again when wrong man was in wrong position.
Another disaster from Dinolegri…the damage the guy has cost Juve is in 10s of millions…lost to Haifa..cost UCL millions…coat TV rights money…MDS’ contract money..Sandro’s contract money…his own undeserving contract money…money spent on Slowredes and kicking out Rovella..money due to decrease in fan interest..and all he talks about is point deduction…when we got destroyed by Benfica and lost to the farmers from Haifa and then to newbies Monza, there was no point deduction..he blamed injuries, lack of experience…the whole thing feels like a blackmail scandal by Dinolegri on Agnelli….no logical mind would hire Dino and give him 30 millions to cost the club 50 millions
We can`t afford to renew Dybala or keep Vlahovic but we can afford to play this guy to the extent he get an automatic renewal while we have better players like Rugani and Gatti sitting on the bench. The guy is one of the highest earners and have just been terrible all season. How the hell is possible to let something like this happen at Juventus? It`s a fucking joke.
