In this article we talk about the transfer market under the least exciting aspect for the fans but fundamental for any club: the transfers. Fundamental from the technical point of view to free up places in the team and from the economic point of view by increasing the spending portfolio for purchases (and in some cases decreasing management costs, for example salaries). We will make an analysis of the situations to date (March) which for obvious reasons, especially with regard to sales, are even more delicate.
Goalkeepers
As mentioned last time, the situation is not as solid as many think. Starting with Buffon,
not sure yet to renew, even if it is more on the yes than not. Perhaps it is true that,
among the many thoughts that pass in the brain of the champion, there may also be the
thought that pushes him to still feel competitive but he has reached the age of 43
and is still in business and perhaps he also knows what to do the second. goalkeeper
in Juventus is a great achievement. Szczesny instead, as also mentioned in the article
on purchases (here you can find the article:
https://www.dayfootball.us/article/2021/28/03/a-little-bit-of-Juventus-2021-transfers),
could be sold for a figure of 40 million upwards, without excluding lower offers,
even 35 million. He also has many fans in England, such as Manchester United who could
(conditionally) think of him to replace De Gea. Then there is Perin, the goalkeeper is
happy in Genoa and would like to stay but he could return to some exchange if the opportunities come.
Defenders
Here, however, the only true non-transferable, today, is De Ligt. For Alex Sandro we
can say that with the right offers, and exchanges, he could leave the team, to insert
new players (with Marcelo and Gosens in the list of candidates). With him also Demiral
who, although a player that Juventus does not sell for a while, is not considered so
non-transferable. Frabotta, on the other hand, is a pure future capital gain, a material
that the Bianconeri take into great consideration. While Chiellini is grappling with a
possible renewal but, today, it is more no than yes. De Sciglio could be part of an
operation with Lyon, the defender is doing well in France and Aouar is among the important
goals of Juve, and Aouar plays in Lyon. For Rugani the loan in Cagliari and finally on
Pellegrini could be confirmed, the company is evaluating what to do but without taking a position for now.
Midfielders
In this department there are the biggest problems and with them also the heaviest salaries,
not only for the quantity but for the expense/performance ratio in the field. Some have
important salaries and are difficult to place but even here, if offers were to arrive,
including exchanges, many would leave. Ramsey, for example, has already received offers
from the Premier, Rabiot also likes him very much in England and Raiola is working hard
for a transfer of Bernardeschi. These are the company's sales wishes and attention to a
possible offer above 30 million for Bentancur, also no longer considered non-transferable.
For Douglas Costa, on the other hand, the rumors that he would return to Brazil are true.
Forwards
Here, however, there could be a real revolution. Morata could remain but more likely with
a renewal of the loan. Ronaldo has not yet clearly defined his will but there is a proposal
on the table for a two-year contract extension at half salary. On Ronaldo, today, however,
there are no strong signs that see him out, but we must consider that a player like him if
he wants to move he does it without problems. While the Dybala chapter is a very complex
speech, the only absolute certainty, as in the two previous transfer sessions, is that the
company has put it up for sale and that it does not want to extend the contract on the
player's terms, we will see if it will be the the right summer perhaps to make an exchange/capital gain
operation like that of the Pjanic operation.
To date, however, it is difficult to give certainty, for example, without a place in the Champions League, not only purchases but also sales would change. However, we anticipate that it will be an even more complex session than the previous one and with the difficulties that all the teams are facing, we refer to the words of DS Paratici last summer "we will need a lot of imagination" and we add that it will also take luck to complete all the project in mind. To be realistic to be able to place more than 5 players would be a feat worthy of a great manager we will see what happens.
