Juventus, match point for the Champions League against Roma: 40 million coming for the transfer market | Primapagina

The first of four opportunities to get your hands on the declared goal at the beginning of the season. And even if, barring any twists and turns, it won’t be enough to save one’s bench Massimiliano Allegri who still cultivates the possibility of closing his second cycle in black and white with the conquest of a title – the Italian Cup up for grabs on May 15th against Atalanta – in the away match in Rome valid for the 35th matchday of Serie A Juventus is also looking at the prospect of putting a mortgage on the approximately 40 million euros that would derive from access to the first phase of the new Champions League format and from a third place in the championship which appears closer after Bologna’s draw on Friday evening in Turin. Not to mention the minimum prize for participation in the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia in January 2025 – the first edition with the Final Four in recent months was worth 1.6 million euros to the semi-finalists – and the approximately 50 million put in their pockets after having obtained the certainty of the pass to the club’s first World Cup which will be played in the United States in July 2025.
ALLEGRI OPENS TO GOODBYE: THE DISCOURSE ON JUVE DNA

MATCH POINT – With Inter and Milan already certain of being among the five Italian representatives in the new one Champions League which will start next September – no more group stage but a single grouping made up of 36 teams – Juventus, Bologna, Roma, Atalanta, Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli are the contenders still competing for the remaining three slots available in Serie A. The Bianconeri – who need 6 points between now and the end of the championship – lead the group with 65 points in 34 games, followed by Bologna (64 but with one game more), Roma (59 points in 34 days), Atalanta (57 in 33) and Lazio (56 in 35). Fiorentina are further behind – but must recover the match against Atalanta which was postponed on March 17th – with their 50 points, the same as Napoli. Watch out for the direct clash factor, given that after Roma, Juventus is expected to face Thiago Motta’s Bologna directly. Allegri’s team, which is already ahead in the double match against Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina, needs 6 points between now and the end of the championship to be sure of returning to the top 5 and is currently making the race against Roma. In the event of a victory on Sunday evening at the Olimpico against De Rossi’s boys, Juventus would also have the comfort of arithmetic. Since, after the 1-0 in the first leg, they would also be ahead of the Giallorossi and could only be overtaken by Atalanta and Bologna, not by Lazio (3-1 and 0-1) and Fiorentina (double success for 1-0 ) and even less so from Napoli, which is 15 points behind with 12 points available.
THIS IS WHY JUVE IS IN POLE FOR MOTTA

MONEY (ALSO) FOR THE MARKET – A highly prestigious achievement after the painful renunciation of the last Champions League in the season that is coming to an end, but above all a heavy loss in terms of revenue for a club that has had to face recapitalizations of around 700 million euros on the part of the majority shareholder in recent years and called upon to carry out a work to reorganize its accounts. The increasingly concrete possibility of having to pay Allegri and his staff in full the emoluments due from the last year of the contract expiring in June 2025 in case of early separation and the sword of Damocles of the 9.8 million compensation to Cristiano Ronaldo for the 2020 and 2021 salary adjustments (the Juventus club will still appeal) require the top management of the Old Lady to pay very close attention to what future revenues will be resulting from the return to the Europe that matters. Savings for the budget but also for looking at the important summer session of the transfer market with renewed enthusiasm, which will also be financed by the possible transfers of the various Huijsen, Soulé and Iling jr and by some forced sacrifices, with Szczesny and Bremer as the main suspects.
