One shot to midfield, probably two. If the first reinforcement has been scheduled for months (in fact he will be the real replacement for Pogba), the Lady’s doubling will depend on summer transfers. Juventus is approaching the imminent “in or out” for Adrien Rabiot, but the Frenchman with his contract expiring in a month is not the only midfielder in the squad in the balance. At the beginning of the week, Madame Veronique, Adrien’s mother-representative, will reveal the cards in the summit with director Cristiano Giuntoli: the Bianconeri have not lost faith, but are aware of the pitfalls – Bayern and English clubs – and of the possibility of losing the former PSG on a free transfer.

A possible farewell for Weston McKennie, protagonist of a positive season (10 assists between Serie A and the Italian Cup), but far from extending the agreement which expires in a year. Evaluations are also underway for Fabio Miretti (followed by Monza and Bologna) and above all for Carlos Alcaraz. The Argentine will not be redeemed (price set at 49.5 million), but the Lady will try to obtain a second loan from Southampton. The green light from the English is possible, not a given. For all these reasons, at Continassa they have increased their attention and pressure on other midfielders. Giuntoli is looking above all at Ligue1: between Khephren Thuram (Nice) and Manuel Ugarte (PSG), Yossouf Fofana (Monaco) stands out.
The summit is coming soon

In the Principality they have already opened up to the farewell of Fofana, who in unsuspecting times decided not to renew his contract expiring in 2025. Rabiot’s national teammate would like to try an experience outside France: he is looking at England, but he is also attracted to Italy and the advances of Milan and Juventus. After contacts in recent weeks, the Juventus managers plan to delve deeper into Fofana’s situation in the next few days. Operation worth around 20 million. The 25-year-old Frenchman could arrive in the event of Rabiot or McKennie leaving: the American is valued at 20-25 million by Juventus.

Contract expiring in 2025 also for Thuram Jr, brother of Inter player Marcus and son of former Juventus defender Lilian. Khephren, born in 2001, was born in Reggio Emilia when his father was still playing for Parma and will almost certainly leave Nice in the summer. The English competition is strong and rich (watch out for Liverpool and Aston Villa), but Marcus’ positive experience at Inter may not be a detail in the reasoning of his little brother, the classic box-to-box midfielder. Between the two transalpines, there is the Uruguayan Ugarte: last summer PSG bought him for 60 million from Sporting, but little by little the midfielder was relegated in Luis Enrique’s hierarchy and now the Parisians are willing to loan him elsewhere: he is already been proposed to several European clubs, including Juventus and Milan. Mikel Merino, midfielder for Spain and Real Sociedad, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Tottenham) also remain on the list.
