“Udinese is solid and doesn’t need to sell” Juventus vice-president Stefano Campoccia, guest of the first edition of the Serie A Festival organized in Parma, is keen to point out. Yes, but in the squad there are some players who have already attracted the attention of other clubs. One name above all: Lazar Samardzic. The Serbian midfielder is one of the players with more quality in the team than Fabio Cannavaro it led to salvation, in Italy Juventus always likes it but there could also be paths abroad.
JUVENTUS’ PLAN FOR SAMARDZIC – Campoccia is not closed to the possible sale: “If the right conditions were to be created and the boy’s appreciation were also there, it is one of the options that the club will evaluate“. Translated: faced with a convincing offer Samardzic can really leave Udinese. Juve are studying an important reinforcement in midfield, looking for a starter after six months ago they postponed the big investment until the summer: the first name is always that of Teun Koopmeiners of Atalanta, but during the summer the Samardzic path could also open up, perhaps trying to insert some counterparts that Udinese would appreciate.
THE SAMARDZIC CLAUSE – With salvation achieved on the last day, the Bianconeri averted the danger of losing Lazar to zero: in fact on the midfielder’s contract there was a release clause that would have allowed the player to free himself from Udinese in the event of relegation. A condition that was almost reached but which in the end did not materialize, so the clause was not activated and whoever wants Samardzic in the summer will have to sit down and negotiate with president Pozzo.
