Juventus are reportedly looking to offload 11 players before the end of the summer transfer session, as Thiago Motta plans to trim his squad.
The Bianconeri have already sold Moise Kean to Fiorentina and Matias Soulé to Roma while Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior joined Aston Villa as bargaining chips in the Douglas Luiz operation.
However, the exodus is far from over, as another 11 players are expected to be offloaded, explains Sky Sport Italia (via IlBianconero).
The list begins with Wojciech Szczesny who found himself surplus to requirements following the arrival of Michele Di Gregorio. The Italian goalkeeper will be the club’s Number One between the posts this season.
In the backline, the Bianconeri will part ways with Daniele Rugani who is on the cusp of signing for Ajax on loan.
Tiago Djalo is also tipped to leave on loan in order to regain his optimal physical condition following a long injury layoff. Young Uruguayan defender Facundo Gonzalez is also on the outs.
In the middle of the park, Weston McKennie and Arthur Melo have been omitted from Motta’s squad since Day One, and they’re now joined by Hans Nicolussi Caviglia.
The source adds three wingbacks to the list in the shape of Mattia De Sciglio, Filip Kostic and Tommaso Barbieri.
Last but not least, Federico Chiesa will have to find himself new accommodation as the new Juventus coach considers him inept to his football philosophy.
Motta confirmed as much in his post-match interview following the 2-2 draw against Brest on Saturday night.
For Omsien not be excited is arrogance. Chelsea is a big club in the World.Omisien is not special as he thinks he is but overrated.
Giuntoli brought Napoli’s mafia style to Juventus.
Also pretty much football manager game, selling more than half of last season’s squad and replacing with lotto players.
Hahaha.. So f right.. I’m losing respect to this guy. This transfer circus indicates lack of respect and how desperate he is to erase good memory of previous directors (by selling their players for peanuts). Unfortunately, his show has turned into disaster. The league is about to roll and this clown hasn’t got Koop and a top striker.
Why? Because he sells players who are not worthy of Juventus?
Maybe the exceptions: Sulé, Huijsen, Szczęsny
Unfortunately the others that Giuntoli sells are all useless, “Serie B-players”: Kean, Iling, Rugani, McKennie, etc.
I find it rather a magic if he can sell them. Because in addition to the fact that these players are worth nothing, they had a very comfortable life in Turin, earning a lot of money. They didn’t have to fight for serious results.
What about Milik, his name is not included. Aside Sulé, Huijsen, Szczęsny I think the other transfer listed players do not deserve to remain on the team. As for Ciesa it’s his decision to leave. With just a year left on his contract and his demands for increased pay to extend his contract despite his poor performance last season and also in the Euros not forgetting his poor injury records it is only wise to cash in on him when theirs still a chance. I prefer quality than quantity. If Giuntoli is able to sell off the deadwoods likes of Rugani, McKennie, Mattia De Sciglio, Melo, Caviglia, Filip Kostic, Tommaso Barbieri and the others and replace them with quality players then it’s the right step in the right direction. These players contribute little or nothing to the team still they earn so much.
