Enzo Barrenechea has now become the latest Juventus Next Gen starlet to earn a promotion to the first team. The Argentine has already made three Serie A starts and the club has recently announced his official permanent promotion.
However, the 21-year-old failed to impress over the weekend against Hellas Verona, so Max Allegri hauled him off at half-time in favor of Fabio Miretti.
Nevertheless, the youngster still has his manager’s esteem, while his contract at the club runs until 2026.
So according to Calciomercato, Juventus have decided to send Barrenechea on loan in the upcoming summer transfer market.
This would allow the midfielder to gain some vital experience and return a year later as an improved player.
The former Sion youngster joined the Bianconeri in January 2020, but a serious injury in 2021 halted his progress.
This season, he re-established himself as a protagonist in Massimo Brambilla’s Next Gen squad before earning a chance to feature for the senior squad.
Juve FC say
Despite his poor showing against Verona, Barrenechea has all the makings to become a complete central midfielder.
But at the moment, the likes of Nicolò Fagioli and Fabio Miretti have proven to be more reliable options, while Nicolò Rovella should earn himself a spot in the Bianconeri squad starting next season on the back of an impressive campaign in Monza.
Therefore, sending Barrenechea on loan to another Serie A club would be the ideal prospect for his development.
nicollusi and ranocchia already ahead of him too.
the competition is really hot between our youngsters in the center midfields.
the ranks as right now is
fagioli 22
rovella 21
miretti 19
ranoccia 21
nicollusi 22
enzo 22
allegri made 2 mistakes, he send rovella and nicollusi on loan.
with rovella he doesn’t needs paredes and save up 7.8M and got a better regista and can rest locatelli.
while with nicollusi he got a 3rd regista with killer long diagonal pass and very fast triggering counter attacks, build like enzo but with better vision and passing, also can play fine as mezalla.
if allegri loaning enzo, keep rovella and nicollusi, this season will be much different than today.
the other mistakes he made is he didn’t calling up compagnon. this guy the better option than cuadrado on attack.
even better than illing junior, and soule for attacking mindset and dribble, love to shot from outside too and has a good power.
really the missing piece we needs on final 3rd
Nicolussi is mezzala, not regista.
