At the end of a rollercoaster campaign, Juventus could opt for a summer revolution, explains La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Fabiana Della Valle.
On Monday evening, a 10-point deduction coupled with a horrible 1-4 defeat at Empoli spelled the end of the club’s Champions League hopes, barring a miracle.
So according to Della Valle, this campaign will spark an uprising in the squad, with only 11 players currently assured of a spot in next season’s team, which will be a combination of savvy veterans and promising youngsters.
The list features club captain Leonardo Bonucci, Danilo, Mattia Perin, Federico Gatti, Bremer, Mattia De Sciglio, Nicolo Fagioli, Manuel Locatelli, Fabio Miretti, Filip Kostic and Samuel Iling-Junior.
So what about the others?
As the journalist explains, the management is no longer adamant about renewing Angel Di Maria’s contract, while Adrien Rabiot will most likely leave in the absence of UCL football. For his part, Leandro Paredes will return to PSG following a disappointing loan spell.
As for Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa, one of them could be sacrificed to fund the summer transfer campaign, while Wojciech Szczesny, Daniele Rugani and Moise Kean could be sold for the right price.
Finally, Juan Cuadrado still has a chance of renewing his contract if he accepts a wage cut, while Juventus would be hoping to get rid of Alex Sandro and his hefty salary, though it won’t be easy after recently triggering an automatic release clause.
Selling Chiesa would be a disaster. Getting rid of the one who would hinder his greatness – Allegri – would be much wiser.
Dude the club needs money. If they Cannot Play in Europe next season, it makes sense selling Chiesa and Vlahovic on the business point of view. Great Players are always around. Juve will find other great players in the future.
It`s about knowing who to sell and who to build around. Chiesa is a once a decade player. People forget this when they watch him play as wingback under Allegri. Raise cash by selling some others if needed.
Allegri must GO. It’s about time. Juventus are a disaster at the moment.
If we had a proper coach, we would most likely have won the Europa League at least.
Juventus should start all over again, get rid of old players. Building up a completely new team based on the Juventus philosophy, where the meaning of the name is, after all, “Youth.” When you are over 30 and not performing, they should be replaced. And you have to stop giving shitty players long contracts and high salary.
One has to look at Pep Guardiola’s philosophy where no one is bigger than the club. You have to get rid of prima donnas. If you don’t perform, that’s it “out”. If your ego is bigger than your overhyped football skills, OUT!
You got it all wrong. Guardiola has doesn’t like players with bigger ego than him. Do you research!
